I wonder it's because i haven't done research to pick the right font for emacs 23, or perhaps i need to define a emacs's concept of fontset, or, is this actually due to a tech immaturity of the Cocoa engine or emacs implementation in Cocoa? Because i've heard complains on the net that ditching Carbon in emacs CVS is a mistake. Apparently, my old Carbon Emacs is superior as far as rendering Unicode at user level. (content may not be exactly the same as shown in the screenshot) Conclusion? You can download the above file here: unicode.txt. Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/site-lisp/mac/carbon-font.el ( if ( eq window-system 'mac) ( require 'carbon-font)) The Carbon Emacs is using the following setup picked up from years before: make available extra CJK-font for carbon emacs in the menu It is using a Mac OS's font “Manaco”, size 14.
There are no customization for emacs 23 above. The machine is about 4 years old, it is the last Mac with PowerPC. My Mac is 1.9 GHz PowerPC G5, running Mac OS X 10.4.11. The right is: “GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0, NS apple-appkit-824.48) of on xahg5.local”. The left is “GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0, Carbon Version 1.6.0) of on g5.jp”. Unicode in Carbon Emacs 22 (left), in Emacs 23 (right), on the Mac. However, on my old Mac, it seems the Carbon Emacs is quite superior from common user perception. Also, Carbon has been deprecated in emacs CVS, supplanted by the Cocoa branch. This is a major improvement in Unicode support. One major news is that emacs now uses Unicode utf-8 as its char representation internally (as opposed to a hacked up internal encoding used previously). Emacs 23 has just been released last month.
