I'm using -adobe-courier for pretty much everything, as this font can correctly display italics for working with auctex and other software, but it can't display those unicode characters needed for the thread symbols mentioned above. I've tried switching fonts using the mouse menu (S-button-1) and the only one that's able to display those is "9x15". This font is too small in my monitor, but perhaps ok if it's only in the summary buffer, that uses only the upper window. The other drawback of that font, is that it cannot show italics. Can somebody suggest a font that can display both the unicode _and_ italics characters, and how to set that up? If that's not possible, how can one tell emacs to put just the summary buffer window in a different font? Thanks so far. -- Best wishes, Sebastian
