[h-e-w] troubles creating bdf fontset |

I recently downloaded a set of the classic "misc-fixed" X11 fonts (BDF
format) that I wanted to use with NT Emacs (and also use in Win2k, but
that's another story...). (I just happen to like these fonts, particularly
9x15 and 10x20). I have been following the instructions in the FAQ for
creating a fontset, but I stumble at the following step:
(create-fontset-from-fontset-spec
"-Misc-Fixed-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-c-*-fontset-bdf")
The debugger dumps
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "No fonts match
`-misc-fixed-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1'")
So in *scratch* buffer, I did this to look at the font list (into which I
had already loaded the bdf fonts):
(insert (prin1-to-string (x-list-fonts
"*")))("-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--20-200-75-75-C-100-ISO10646-1" [ ...
etc ]
Apparently all the BDF fonts I have are "ISO-10646" codeset. Is there any
way to get the fonts I have to work with the default latin-1 charset? I've
tried finagling the fontset-spec string, to no avail.
TIA
