font size

[Baloff]

Hello
I am trying to change the font size.
after reading in info info on how to seach the info. I was able to
find in info emacs ps-font-size should do it.

but when I type ps<tab> in the mini buffer I get

Possible completions are:
ps-despool			   ps-line-lengths
ps-mode				   ps-nb-pages-buffer
ps-nb-pages-region		   ps-print-buffer
ps-print-buffer-with-faces	   ps-print-customize
ps-print-region			   ps-print-region-with-faces
ps-spool-buffer			   ps-spool-buffer-with-faces
ps-spool-region			   ps-spool-region-with-faces

nothing about font size. 

help please

thanks

Try loading ps-print first, like this:

    M-x load-library RET ps-print RET

and then try typing "ps TAB" again.

(Some variables are only defined when the respective package is loaded
into Emacs.)

Btw, ps-font-size is only for the ps-print feature, it will not affect
the fonts used for display.  Are you sure this is what you need?

I am trying to increase the font size displayed on the screen. plus I
don't know what S-down-mouse-1 or M-x mouse-set-font! mean.
what is S-down-mouse-1 any way?

You press the shift key and while holding it down you press usually the 
left-most mouse button. Then you can let go both keys.

Or you type C-h t.

Then the ps-* stuff is not what you want.

S-down-mouse-1 means hold the Shift key and click the left mouse
button.

Sounds like you need to read the tutorial and the few basic chapters
of the manual.  The node "Mouse Commands" is one that I recommend.

Firstly, I'd recommend reading the tutorial C-h t (Control and h
together then t). Also check out the info pages on emacs. 

In emacs, font related stuff is covered by the term 'face'. Try M-x
customize-face <ret> (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.

In your ~/.emacs add the following lines.  Remember to choose an
appropriate font.

(setq default-frame-alist
      '((width . 80)
	(height . 40)
	(font . "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-120-100-100-c-90-iso8859-1")
	(background-color . "black")
	(foreground-color . "light blue")
	(menu-bar-lines . 1)))

Also try shift+left-mouse-button to get the font menu.
