font selection

[Gary Wessle]

Hi

I am trying to replace the font I now see using emacs to 
-bitstream-bitstream charter-medium-*-normal-*-17-120-*-*-*-0-iso8859-1
which I got using xfontsel.
now in *Customize Group: Basic Faces* I donot have all those
attributes in-order to set, the attributes I was expecting are what I
notices from xfontsel,
fndry-fmly-wght-slant-sWdth-adstyl-pxlsz-ptSz-resx-resy-spc-avgWdth-rgstry-encodng

what should I do?

thanks

Put this in your $HOME/.Xdefaults file:

Emacs*Font: -bitstream-bitstream 
charter-medium-*-normal-*-17-120-*-*-*-0-iso8859-1

	Hello,

  I've recently shifted to Emacs23, and have some problems with font
selection, until I remember it's set in X resources. Is it possible to select
fonts from the init.el / custom.el specific Emacs config files ? it would be
simpler from my POV…

  Thanks for any tip about this, else full thanks to the emacs devs !
	Fred.

Yes. In for example

         (setq initial-frame-alist '(
           (mouse-color           . "midnightblue")
           (foreground-color      . "grey20")
           (background-color      . "alice blue")
           (internal-border-width . 2)
           (line-spacing          . 1)
           (active-alpha          . 0.875)
           (inactive-alpha        . 0.75)
           (top . 25) (left . 650) (width . 91) (height . 50)))
         (setq default-frame-alist '(
           (border-color          . "#4e3831")
           (foreground-color      . "grey10")
           (background-color      . "ghost white")
           (vertical-scroll-bars  . left)
           (cursor-color          . "purple")
           (cursor-type           . box)
           (active-alpha          . 0.75)
           (inactive-alpha        . 0.875)
           (top . 50) (left . 150) (width . 89) (height . 56)))

you can also put elements like

           (font . "-apple-courier std-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0- 
mac-roman")

or

           (font . "fontset-osaka")

and there is also the option:

	(set-frame-font "-apple-courier-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-*-*- 
fontset-14pt_bitstream_courier" 'keep)


The fontsets can be built in your init file as well.

I have the following line in my .emacs file for the default font setting:
(set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 100)

I hope this is useful to you.

You can use the font selection option from the 'Options' menu. This
will provide a GTK font selection box and if, after selecting a font,
you save it, it will be saved into your .emacs file.
