Hi. Im running Gnome under Lenny.
Im trying to get Emacs to work with some decent fonts that show some special
characters in a document, things like an "fi" or "fl" ligature, or
some other odd things like that (ellipsis).
When i look at these files in gedit, or even in the terminal wiht "more", they
look OK, but in Emacs i get square boxes or blank spaces everywhere.
I read the Emacs wiki all over, and i installed emacs-gtk, installed
x-ttcidfont-conf, restarted X. But things are still difficult.

its much larger, and i still cant select
different things easily.
Is there any simple set of instructions i can get to be albe to have decent
looking fonts in Emacs for this purpose? Why does it have to
be so hard? :-(
The most important thing is that i can see these different characters.
