>> emacs -font "-adobe-courier-bold-o-normal--0-0-100-100-m-0-iso10646-1"
Ok then I tried
>> emacs -font
"-adobe-courier-bold-o-normal--0-0-100-100-m-0-*-*"
And the behaviour is the same, that is
C-h h displays Hebrew and Greek correctly.
However when I open a file, which I recently have edited with Greek
and Hebrew symbols and saved as UTF-8, those symbols are displayed as
empty boxes.
Strange enough, when I chose an input mode, say Greek or Hebrew (no
BIDI support but anyway), the symbols I *then type* but only these are
correctly displayed, I save them as UTF-8 leave the buffer, reenter
the buffer and _again_ I just see just empty boxes.
Now I just downloaded and installed fonts from
http://www.m17n.org/emacs-bidi the m17nfonts. These fonts allow to display
even Hebrew with nikkud.
Now
When I start emacs like
alias e6 'emacs -font
"-m17n-mule-medium-r-normal--20-140-100-100-p-90-iso10646-1" -bg
grey86 \!* &'
(I know I should not) then everything is displayed nicely, however
these fonts a proportional fonts, I would prefer fixed fonts of the
courier type.
So what can I do?
Thanks
