I like -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1 but the biggest size available on my system is -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-100-iso10646-1 and I would like it bigger. The "efont" looks similar and the right size is available. But there are problems, when used with recent emacs versions. I've also tried the lates= t from http://bzr.notengoamigos.org/emacs/trunk/ Here the description of the problems (screenshots are at http://pmrb.free.fr/tmp/emacs/ ): 1.) emacs -fn -efont-biwidth-medium-r-normal--24-*-*-*-*-120-iso10646-1 - borders are extremely large (see screenshot 1) - to get 80 columns, I must use "emacs -g 8x40" (division by 10) - when moving up and down, the point jumps back to a column that is a multiple of 10 - when ispell is showing suggestions, it does not use the available width but more height (see screenshot 1) 2.) emacs -fn -efont-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-*-*-*-*-120-iso10646-1 - some letters look strange and take more width than the others, for example =C3=BC and =C3=A9 (see screenshot 2) 3.) emacs -fn -efont-*-medium-r-normal--24-*-*-*-*-120-iso10646-1 - the tabulation character displays twice as large as normal (see screenshot 3) There are no such problems with emacs-22.X. Can others reproduces these problems? Is this a bug of emacs or the efont-package? What solution do you suggest, is there perhaps another font, that looks similar but without such problems? For now, I use "adobe-courier-bold-r" but I don't like it so much... :( Cheers and happy new year, Peter --=20 Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
