It look like shit but it is at least readable. Now I want to make that permanent Options->Save Options doesn't do this?! And everything else seems to suggest that I use xfontsel to find the font name again which is bullshit considering that emacs has to know what font it is using to display. So the question is how do I get emacs to display the current font? -- David Wright Escott
