Frankly, your reply is a bit above my head. How would I > know if I have X resources set for GNU Emacs? Or how to set an > existing > font? There is a file ~/.Xdefaults. It is read when X11 launches. The X resources from this file (and others for this purpose) configure the look of X clients. You know what X11 is? You are working on some BSD or Linux system? Here the command xlsfonts lists all available fonts for the configuration active. 'xset -q' shows the font path and other details of your X11 configuration. ~/.xinitrc is probably the file that sets up this configuration. -- Greetings Pete The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!"
