basic font problem

Hi,

I am trying to display correctly a UTF-8 encoded file
in Gnumeric. 

I have managed to get Gnumeric to open this file, but
some of the characters (notably the phonetic symbols,
for example ɛÞ, ø and ʃ) are not displayed,
regardless of which font I choose from Gnumeric's
drop-down font selector. The same problem occurs when
I open the file in Abiword.

Other X applications (such as emacs) can display all
the characters in the file with the standard font
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-*-*-*-c-70-iso8859-1.
So I have concluded it is not an X windows problem. Am
I right?

My question, how do I make Gnumeric use this font?

I am running -

Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (Woody) with Gnome 2.2 backport
Xfree86 4.2.1
Gnumeric 1.2.1

The file is basically a three column tab-delimited
spreadspread where the columns are (1) English
expression, (2) French translation and (3) Phonetic
symbols - hence the need for UTF-8.

Regards
Shane
