Apparently not! If you want to achieve different fonts on different machines, but without having different Elisp on different machines, I suppose one way to do that would be to rely on environmental vars, as in (getenv "EDITOR") ; "/usr/bin/emacs" Set up one such to hold the font. Of course, this only means that instead of changing Elisp on each system, you would have to set the font variable on each system. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
