How to use JIS X 0208 or JIS2004 as default Japanese font with Emacs on RHEL6
Issue
-
Red Hat will not use JIS2004 font as default font in RHEL6, however emacs-23.1-18.el6 (prior to 21.el6) wrongly used JIS2004 font as default.
-
This bug was fixed on emacs-23.1-21.el6 (or later).
-
So please be aware that:
-
emacs-23.1-18.el6 (prior to 21.el6), due to the bug, wrongly used JIS2004 (JIS X 0213:2004) as default font.
-
emacs-23.1-21.el6 (or later), fixed version, will use JIS X 0208 (JIS X 0208:1990) as default font.
-
-
The fonts displayed slightly differently in some cases, and some of the characters may not be able to be displayed in normal terminals.
Environment
-
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
-
emacs-23.1-18.el6 (prior to 21.el6) / emacs-23.1-21.el6 or later
