But my normal startup complains: Font `Courier-9' is not defined One of my normal startup commands changes the font to "Courier-9", via `modify-frame-parameters'. Apparently that works with harfbuzz, but not Uniscribe. > If you click S-mouse-2 and select "Change Buffer Font...", what font > is shown in the dialog as the current one? I assume that's the font that is selected when the dialog starts. With the Uniscribe backend, it's "Courier New". "Courier" does not show size 9. Same for harbuzz backend. In harbuzz, if I use that dialog to select 'fixedsys', the buffer is readable; the minibuffer and mode bar are not. Same for "Courier", but that does. Selecting "Lucida Console" or "Courier New" give unreadable fonts. -- -- Stephe
