How is it when look with vi(m), pico, nano from xterm with Terminus at the same places of the same file? How is the font selection working here? How are Open/LibreOffice performing? Well the current situation is that DejaVu Sans Mono is used as a fallback in all the applications. The problem is that Terminus-12 is smaller than DejaVu Sans Mono-12, so emacs squashes the bigger characters resulting in illegible characters. I tried configuring fontconfig like so, to have DejaVu Sans Mono to be smaller: Terminus DejaVu Sans Mono 10 But it doesn't seem to work, and I wasn't able to find a suitable configuration, so I was looking for an emacs-specific solution...
