Some Font & Face Questions (unicode--2)

[Florian Beck]

I am stumped here. Bug? Read Another F' Manual? Compilcated? I don't
know anymore.

1. Recently I tried to display as much of HELLO as possible. So i looked
up the character ranges at unicode.org, searched for the recommended
fonts and set »set-fontset-font«.

This works quite well for

; Hebrew שלום
(set-fontset-font
 "fontset-default"
 '(1424 . 1535)   
 "-unknown-Code2000-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-unicode-bmp")

but not for

; Devanagari नमस्ते, नमस्का, 
(set-fontset-font
 "fontset-default"
 '(2304 . 2431)   
 "-unknown-Code2000-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-unicode-bmp")

though I am pretty sure the font can display devanagari characters. I a
bit at a loss here. Am I doing something wrong or are my fonts at fault
after all?

2. How do I find out about the possible fonts-specs? 

I build the above more or less by trial and error and examining my font
cache. The funny thing is, »xlsfonts« or »xfontsel« do not show the
fonts in which I am interested (eg Code2000, SimSun, Arial Unicode).

3. I can set frame specific fonts. This works ok. Can I show different
fonts in *windows*? If not, as I fear, can I at least have different
font sizes in different windows, e.g. small fonts in *Help* windows?
