Thanks. I haven't any particular configuration, no Xdefault in my home etc... Both on K804 and K910 I have done GTK builds (./configure) To summarize these are the results. K804 ==== $ xrdb -query | grep Xft Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.dpi: 96 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintfull Xft.rgba: none With 20091114 build, 'Options | Set Default Font' shows Monospace, Regular, 10: the same I see with Konsole. With current 20091117, 'Options | Set Default Font' shows Sans, Regular, 12: very bad! If with that option I set Monospace, Regular, 10, the result is *different* from what I see in Konsole or my previous build. And after this, recalling 'Options | Set Default Font' shows always Sans, Regular, 12, i.e. it does not reflect the new choice. K910 ==== Similar results. Only $ xrdb -query | grep Xft is empty. It seems that these new features added to Emacs, after 20091114, make its look a little bad. Can I build disabling those? Ciao, Angelo.
