Okay, let me wrap up how things work out for me:
(set-keyboard-coding-system 'mac-roman)
seems to be an easy way to make Emacs behave like one would expect it
to: all special combinations (umlauts, euro symbol, accents) work.
To make Emacs display the stuff the following works:
(create-fontset-from-fontset-spec
"-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-monaco,
ascii:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-120-mac-roman,
mule-unicode-0100-24ff:-apple-lucida
grande-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-m-0-mac-roman,
mule-unicode-2500-33ff:-apple-bitstream vera sans mono
bold-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-m-0-mac-roman,
latin-iso8859-15:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-120-mac-roman,
latin-iso8859-1:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-120-mac-roman"
)
(set-face-font
'default "-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-monaco")
It seems, however, that Emacs really only uses the first (ascii) part,
so I tried changing it to:
(create-fontset-from-fontset-spec
"-apple-Bitstream Vera Sans
Mono-regular-r-normal--13-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-monaco,
ascii:-apple-Bitstream Vera Sans
Mono-regular-r-normal--13-140-75-75-m-120-mac-roman,
mule-unicode-0100-24ff:-apple-lucida
grande-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-m-0-mac-roman,
mule-unicode-2500-33ff:-apple-bitstream vera sans mono
bold-medium-r-normal--0-0-75-75-m-0-mac-roman,
latin-iso8859-15:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-120-mac-roman,
latin-iso8859-1:-apple-monaco-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-120-mac-roman"
)
Interestingly now Emacs explodes into the debugger and claims that no
font matches. For some reason the very same font works fine with:
(set-face-font 'default "-apple-Bitstream Vera Sans
Mono-regular-r-normal--13-140-75-75-m-120-mac-roman"). Only then the
special characters don't display correctly.
What is it that makes Emacs find the font in one instance and not in the
other? And what makes Emacs accept the fontset containing a Monaco
with mac-roman encoding(!) but display special characters, while loading
the Bitstream font (also with mac-roman encoding) can't display special
characters?
The emacs info pages can't really help me. I don't really understand
what all those characters and numbers in a fontset stand for... But
this doesn't change the fact that emacs doesn't even find my font to
include it in the fontset.
