One normally does this in .Xdefaults, like so Emacs*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1 This particular font, which my system, results in 13-dot fontset configuration.

I'm using emacs 22.3.1 in a MacOS X system. Each time I start emacs I
select from the Options menu Set Font/Fontset... > Courier > 14
What would be the magic command to put in .emacs for this to always
happen automatically on startup?

In my Linux box, this is what that mouse command exactly does: (set-default-font (cadr (assoc "14" (assoc "Courier" x-fixed-font-alist)))) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

(setq initial-frame-alist (append (list '(border-color . "#4e3832") '(foreground-color . "grey10") '(background-color . "AliceBlue") '(active-alpha . 0.875) '(inactive-alpha . 0.75) '(font .

Another option is an X resource, as documented in info, which selects a fontset built by you. -- Greetings Pete Debugging? Klingons do not debug.

I set my font in a special .xEmacs file which I include into my .Xresources e.g .Xresources: ,---- | #include "./.emacs.d/.xEmacs" `---- .xEmacs: ,---- | Emacs*font: -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal-*-12-100-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1 | Emacs.toolBar: off | Emacs.menu: on | Emacs.foreground: wheat | Emacs.background: darkslategrey | Emacs.pointerColor: Grey | Emacs.cursorColor: LightGray | Emacs.borderColor: black `---- It is much faster on my system than setting with a call to set-default-font. -- important and urgent problems of the technology of today are no longer the satisfactions of the primary needs or of archetypal wishes, but the reparation of the evils and damages by the technology of yesterday. ~Dennis Gabor, Innovations: Scientific, Technological and Social, 1970 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
