And thus a global way to correct it?** So, even having read about all the ways to set a font in Emacs, I haven't found an answer which would explain the difference in font size between an uncustomized Emacs 23.x and Emacs 24.y. Probably, it's as in the follow-up answer (Tassilo Horn): > Emacs 24 adds support for gconf and gsettings, so it'll pick whatever > monospace font and sizes you have set as the default in your system > settings I'd like to know the place these settings are stored, and to tweak them (so that not only Emacs, but perhaps other similarly behaving programs would get my font settings). I'm especially interested in making the default font size smaller again. Unforunately, [in the Emacs manual](http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Fonts.html) it is not documented which system settings affect the choice of the default font by an uncustomized Emacs 24. I believe this is an important information for an Emacs user and should be present in the manual.
