Hello.
I use GNU Emacs 20.7.1 on win2000pro.
I put (set-language-environment "Latin-2") into my .emacs file because
I need Hungarian "accented" characters. When I type, I see squares
instead
these chars. Shift + leftclick and I choose from the font-selector
window the
_default_ font (Courier New 10, so I press only OK) and everything is
fine.
What should I write into my .emacs if I don't want to do this
selection?
I tried:
(set-default-font "-*-Courier
New-normal-r-*-*-20-120-120-120-c-*-iso8859-2")
(well, it is a bigger, Courier New 12 font), but did not help...
I am new in Emacs.
Please, give me some advice.
Regards
Peter

This works fine and I will upgrade soon, because I have
just started with Emacs...
Thank you for your help,
regards

Install Emacs 21.3, which has many bugs fixed in the Language support,
especially on MS Windows. If you cannot upgrade for some reason, then
the following might work:

(set-default-font
(create-fontset-from-ascii-font
"-*-Courier New-normal-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-c-*-iso8859-2"))
