default font settings

[Vincenzo Di Somma]

Hi all,
I use (set-default-font 
"-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1")
in my .emacs to set te font I like, but when I open another window with 
C x 5-2 emacs use the default font instead of my one, how can I fix it ?

The doc string for set-default-font explicitly says that it only applies
to the current frame.

The "Font Specification Options" section of the Emacs manual says:

|    By default, Emacs displays text in the font named `9x15', which
| makes each character nine pixels wide and fifteen pixels high.  You can
| specify a different font on your command line through the option `-fn
| NAME' (or `--font', which is an alias for `-fn').
|
| `-fn NAME'
| `--font=NAME'
|      Use font NAME as the default font.
...
| You can also specify the font in your `.Xdefaults' file:
|
|      emacs.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-*-*-*-c-60-iso8859-1

I prefer the .Xdefaults method, although I use the Emacs*Font class spec
instead of the emacs.font instance spec.

Or, you could do this in your .emacs:

(let ((font "-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1"))
   (setq initial-frame-alist
	(cons `(font . ,font) initial-frame-alist))
   (setq default-frame-alist
	(cons `(font . ,font) default-frame-alist)))

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist
  '(font . "-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1"))

What about

((set-face-font
 'default "-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-m-70-iso8859-1")

?

                                                 Gian
                                        Friends will be friends
                                           right to the end!

That's the most strange result. I  have it at the very beginning of my
.emacs and just tried it in the *scratch* buffer.

(set-face-font
        'default 
	'"-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15")

There  are 2  parameters, correctly  pointing that  the change  has to
affect all frames.

I'm using 

"GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i386-debian-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
 of 2002-03-22 on raven, modified by Debian"
