Whoa... that was completely unexpected:
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name
'Monospace 11'
funny thing is, I absolutely have no gnome/kde installed, so I had
*absolutely* no idea what I had to use to query this crap...
Also, I tried the emacs24-lucid package which has --without-gconf, but
not --without-gsettings and thus I have the same behavior.
How can I force emacs to use X11 resources over gsettings? I have been
using *font for years now to configure the default font globally,
including with emacs23.
This is probably a default setting pulled from the
gsettings-desktop-schemas package which is in turn pulled by some weird
dependencies, not something I can avoid. Also, I never configured it in
the first place.
I don't mind the gconf/gsettings dependency on the package, so I would
like to avoid asking Debian's maintaines to build another packaged just
for this.
Ideas?
