Selecting the `set default font' menu, `emacs -Q' now offers fixed Standard 9 as the default, which works fine. However, selecting fixed Standard 24 (which is my preferred size), the GTK menu correctly shows the ETL font in the right pixel size, but selecting it makes Emacs use xft:-ETL-Fixed-normal-normal-normal-*-40-*-*-*-c-*-iso10646-1 This looks like a selection or scaling bug. Emacs should simply take what the menu offers, without further font size interpretation. It is of course debatable whether `24' is to be handled as a pixel or point size for a bitmap font, but this is a GTK issue, and it shouldn't be Emacs's job to `fix' the font manager's decision. I'm running X.Org 7.1.99.902, with 128dpi, using GTK 2.10.6. Werner ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

I don't think so; the dialogue is a standard GTK dialogue, and Emacs does not have much control over it. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Do you still see this problem with latest CVS?

Using the CVS version from today, it seems to work now, thanks. The 24~pixel size is properly announced and selected as 14pt. Just curious: would it be possible to extend the font dialogue so that I can select the foundry also? Werner ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
