Thank you. However, I still can't understand how things are supposed to work. In my .Xdefaults I set default font to courier-14. Now if I do (set-face-attribute 'default nil :family "fixed"), shall new frames get courier-14 or fixed-14? Currently they get fixed-14 but with the font metrics of courier-14, so the frame is not 80 characters wide, but more like 87 characters. If I select courier 12 from the shift-down-1 menu, shall I get courier-12 or fixed-12? Currently I get fixed-12 (with courier-12 font metrics). Jan D.
