It's supposed to work even better now.  What are you seeing?

After some experiments it seems that Gnus won't display the right
glyphs unless it can find a variant of the _primary_ font in the
required encoding.  By primary I mean the one that gives its name to
the fontset.  In other words, the whole fontset section looks like
nonsense, null and void, it might just as well not be there.

Comments?  _is_ it supposed to work?  Or does Gnus bypass it and look
for the glyphs by itself?  If so why?

As far as I know, Gnus just decodes the specified charset, and then
it's up to Emacs to display the resulting characters.

What fontset selection code are you thinking of?

C-h i m emacs <ret> i fontsets <ret> n

What I am saying is that my specifying the ",[CHARSET: FONT-NAME]"
clause has no effect.
