The font in GNOME Terminal (Monospace 10) looks very nice, and I want to use it for the default face. Problem is that Emacs only understands XLFDs, and I don't know how to specify Monospace 10. Can somebody please tell me if, and how, this is possible? By the way, has the possibility of putting a proper font chooser in Emacs ever been discussed? Doing it through Customize is horrible. -- Otto Maddox ottomaddox@fastmail.fm -- http://www.fastmail.fm - The way an email service should be
