Hi -

I am an emacs newbie - suffering the learning
curve... I just installed the latest emacs
(21.3.1) on a SuSE 8.1 Linux (X) and am playing
with fonts. I _hate_ courier, so I put the following
in my .emacs:

(set-default-font "lucidasanstypewriter-14")

-or-

(set-default-font "-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-
normal-sans-14-140-75-75-m-90-iso8859-1")

I both cases, emacs thinks about starting up for at
least 5 seconds while he expands his window. If
I use a 10pt font such as:

(set-default-font "lucidasanstypewriter-10")

everything is properly quick (and the window does
_not_ expand). Now being old, I need my 14pt, but
I am spoiled by instaneous response... Is there
something else I can set to avoid this reformatting
delay?

Aloha => Beau;

PS: emacs 21.3.1 on my Windows machines (XP and
2000) does not suffer this delay,
