Hi all,
is it possible to change the font for the emacs term?
As far as I can see only the customization of background and
foreground color is allowed.
Since I use a non monospaced font as default font some things (e.g.
mutt) are displayed messy within emacs term.

Customize the frame parameters via default-frame-alist (or
initial-frame-alist, if you do that from your ~/.emacs). The
parameter's name is `font'. There's an example in the Emacs manual,
in the node "Creating Frames".

Okay, if that's the only way...
As I have already some lines for `default-frame-alist` and
`initial-frame-alist` (both with a proportional font) I did it like
this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun for-term-only ()
"Make a frame for guess what"
(interactive)
(let ((frame (make-frame '(
(left-fringe . 1)
(right-fringe . 1)
(background-color . "white")
(foreground-color . "black")
(font . "DejaVu Sans Mono-11")
(internal-border-width . 12)
(menu-bar-lines . 0)
(width . 90) (height . 36)
(tool-bar-lines . 0)
(unsplittable . t)))))
(select-frame frame)
))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Thanks,
henry
