Emacsclient, new frame and xft fonts

Emacsclient, new frame and xft fonts

[Petteri]

Hello!

I'm using Emacs snapshot packaged for debian
(http://emacs.orebokech.com/), whichs is basically Emacs from cvs.

I'm wandering if it possible to get xft fonts for frame started from
"emacsclient -c" when I have started emacs server from commandline emacs
"emacs -nw". If it is, how?

When I start emacs without -nw option and then use "emacsclient -c" I
get nice fonts also to the new frame started for the client.

You could try to use an X resource or default-frame-alist (there is  
also initial-frame-alist).

Thanks! I got xft fonts working with emacsclient -c when I added
Emacs.font property to my ~/.Xresources file.

Like this:

echo "Emacs.font: Dejavu Sans Mono-9" >> ~/.Xresources
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources

You can also use the Emacs.FontBackend resource. It can be set use  
the x, the xft, or the ftx (FreeType 2) antialiasing techniques. It's  
also possible to use a value of "x,xft" or "x,ftx" – but don't ask me  
for more details! Some day they might be found in the manual ...
