I've been using XEmacs for the past few year and decided to give GNU Emacs 21 a try and see whether I'd like to move back using it instead of XEmacs. First thing I noticed was that for some reason GNU Emacs seems to be a _lot_ faster that XEmacs used to be, especially when using Gnus. However, I ran into quite a few problems which I have been unable to solve.
First of all: How do I change the dafult font in Emacs? I used to have (custom-set-faces '(default ((t (:family "Neep"))) t)) in my ~/.xemacs/custom.el, but in .emacs this does not seem to affect anything. I also tried: emacs.font: -Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--11-80-100-100-M-60-ISO8859-15 in my .Xdefaults, but nothing happened. I am able to change font with Shift-Button1, but I'm unable to save the setting. Secondly, I really do not undestand why Gnus wants to save all my sent mails (in an nnml folder) base64-encoded. I tried messing with mm-content-transfer-encoding-defaults, but it didn't seem to help. I am using [EMAIL PROTECTED] as my locale, if that makes any difference. Third thing is, that for can't figure out what would be the right way to use iso8859-15 without problems when replying to mails or articles in iso-8859-1. For instance, if I reply to somebodys mail Gnus insists on making two mime-parts, one with the quotation on iso8859-1 and my text as iso-8859-15. There really isn't any reason for this normally. Oh, and let's see whether my surname gets to be 8bit, quoted-printable or utf8. I can only guess... Suonpää...
