Latin characters not antialiased in CVS emacs.


I've been searching all day long for this on the net and I'm not even getting close to solving it. It's as a matter of fact the first Linux problem which I decided to describe on a forum.

I've compiled emacs from CVS, because I wanted the fonts antialiased in X. Here are the arguments which i passed to ./configure:
Code:
./configure --with-x-toolkit=gtk --enable-font-backend --with-xft --with-freetype
During the compilation I had to switch emacs/lisp/emacs-lisp/byte-opt.el to it's previous version (it refused to make bootstrap):
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/e...1.109&r2=1.110

After that emacs compiled flawlessy.

Now everything seems cool, but Polish diacritic signs aren't antialiased. It seems like emacs is using another font to display them.

In my .emacs I have only this:
Code:
(set-default-font "monospace-10")
Here's a screenshot:

I wonder if someone could help me with this. I found that I should put this into .emacs:
Code:
(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'latin '("monospace" .“unicode-bmp”))
Of course it didn't work. I also tried:
Code:
(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'latin-iso8859-2 '("monospace" ."unicode-bmp"))
and several other variations.

What is interesting, I also didn't have the euro sign antialiased but after puting
Code:
(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'gb18030 '("monospace". "unicode-bmp"))
into my .emacs file emacs started to show it antialiased.

I'm a little bit confused with this and I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance

This is a little embarrassing. Everything turned OK after reboot.
