I tried to use mule-ucs with GNU Emacs from SuSE 8.0 (21.1.1) to prepare a LaTeX file containing Chinese (simplified, mule input mode chinese-py) characters together with German umlaut characters, using the ucs.sty.
Everything seems to work fine. However when I load the .tex file (containing the -*- coding utf-8 -*- line) a second time into GNU Emcacs, part of the characters is taken from the jiantizi font (rather bold face), part of the characters is taken from the fantizi font (rather slim chars) and some characters are just empty boxes, as if there is no available font for these characters. I have the ifntchia.rpm installed. A translation by LaTeX still gives correct results. Did I miss something?
mule-ucs mixes many fonts trying to cover as much of possible
of Unicode. This can lead to ugly combinations and missing characters.
Can you send me a small file where this problem occurs? Then I can try
whether it is possible to tweak the font setup of Emacs/mule-ucs to
display it better.
