No difference. You can list of the available fonts with xlsfonts Write one of them into the file ~/.Xresources. Eg. Emacs.Font: -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--18-180-75-75-m-110-iso8859-1 Reload this file xrdb -load ~/.Xresources After starting a new Emacs it should use that font. Regards, Mathias
