Font problem

Font problem

[Andrea Benaglia]

Hi all, I'm new to this list, and I need some help with a font problem 
that's driving me crazy: menu fonts are really bad, blurred and almost 
illegibile, whereas everything's fine in the text... I really don't know 
how to fix this, I suppose it has something to do with the default font 
of the graphical interface used by emacs... My emacs is GNU Emacs 21.3.1...

Any help will be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance!

Using a version with GTK bindings would solve this at once ...

The fonts used in menus or pop-ups are determined by X ressources.  
There is some information in the GNU Emacs info system. I have set:

Emacs*pane.menubar.font: -*-lucida-bold-r-*-sans-10-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
Emacs.dialog*font:      -*-lucidatypewriter-bold-r-*-sans-10-*-*-*-*- 
*-iso10646-1
Emacs*menu*font:        -*-utopia-bold-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1

The latter setting is for pop-up menus, the one before for dialogs.
