Hello Vin, (x-set-font "fixed") in you .emacs file will work or C-M-x (x-set-font "fixed") from within emacs. But that`s only good for the 18.x series. The shortcut is to use $ emacs -nw # which will run within the xterm, but is slower than direct X. If you are running a 1.0 Linux Kernal, then you a probably running 19.x series. 19 is much more intelligent with fonts. I don`t know how to do it yet but C-M-x (x-list-fonts "*") WOW! You have to use a mono-spaced or fixed-width font. $ /usr/bin/X11/xlsfonts '*-m-*' $ /usr/bin/X11/xlsfonts '*-c-*' will give them all to you! Or use /usr/bin/X11/xfontsel to get interactive feedback of the font selected. A sure fire way of changing the font for all apps that use Xt is to create a $ cat > ~/.Xdefaults <<% *.font: -bitstream-terminal-medium-r-normal--18-140-100-100-c-110-iso8859-1 % This will work for emacs 18 and emacs 19. Don`t mean to jam that latin1 character set at you, but that is what I use! Dan Demus (603) 886-1230 x133 (617) 327-2641 dan at palette.com
