Choosing the wrong font? To see a list of all the fonts GNU Emacs sees, you can just try to create this list of completions: M-x set-frame-font RET TAB TAB and save the buffer (if you try file name completion to save it you might substitute its contents with possible file name completions). Now can choose from the list an existing font that the X server provides. Another option would be to use: (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) (font . "-apple-courier std-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-mac-roman") (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) (font . "-*-*-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-osaka") (top . 50) (left . 150) (width . 89) (height . 56))) -- Greetings Pete We have to expect it, otherwise we would be surprised.
