Here are more details: I've installed a fixpoint font
$ cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/
$ ls sepps-10x18-os2.*
sepps-10x18-os2.pcf.gz
$ xlsfonts sepps-10x18-os2
sepps-10x18-os2
$ egrep sepps-10x18-os2 fonts.dir
sepps-10x18-os2.pcf.gz sepps-10x18-os2
$ xlsfonts -l 10x20
DIR MIN MAX EXIST DFLT PROP ASC DESC NAME
--> 0 255 some 0 22 16 4 10x20
--> 0 255 some 0 22 16 4 10x20
$ xlsfonts -l sepps-10x18-os2
DIR MIN MAX EXIST DFLT PROP ASC DESC NAME
--> 0 255 all 32 8 14 4 sepps-10x18-os2
--> 0 255 all 32 8 14 4 sepps-10x18-os2
When I eval
(set-default-font "sepps-08x18-os2")
the font which gets actually displayed is a Courier font with probably an 8x18
character size. Whereas if I eval
(set-default-font "10x20")
I see the proper 10x20 fixpoint displayed.
A further aspect: With Emacs 20.7 I didn't have this problem. My fixpoint
font gets displayed as expected.
