Also check out the info pages on emacs. In emacs, font related stuff is covered by the term 'face'. Try M-x customize-face (where M-x means hit Meta plus x and Meta is *usually* the Alt key) If your running on Linux under X, you can also use X resource settings (see info pages). You can also set the font on the command line with -font. Tim -- Tim Cross The e-mail address on this message is FALSE (obviously!).
