fonset and color-theme

[david60]

I am using emacs 22 under ubuntu. When I start emacs in terminal
(emacs -nw), I like the way it looks with the font of the terminal. My
problem is that I don't know what to add in my .emacs so that emacs in
X window looks like emacs in terminal.
Can anyone helps me?

Which terminal emulator are you using?  What do you like about it?

I suggest downloading and installing Emacs with Xft, and using Xft for
font selection (e.g. allows you to choose "Dejavu Sans" instead of the
xfs selection string).

Determine that font, pass its name on the command line to GNU Emacs  
via -fn, put it into ~/.Xdefaults into the X resources, or use the  
commands set-frame-font or something like:

         (setq default-frame-alist '(
;         (background-color     . "ghost white")
;         (foreground-color     . "grey10")
;         (cursor-color         . "purple")
;         (cursor-type          . box)
;         (vertical-scroll-bars . left)
;         (alpha                . (87 75))
;         (active-alpha         . 0.875)
;         (inactive-alpha       . 0.75)
;         (font . "fontset-12pt_bitstream_courier")
           (font . "-*-*-medium-r-normal--9-*-*-*-*-*-fontset- 
hiraginokaku")
;         (top . 20) (left . 150) (width . 89) (height . 56))
	)

There is also initial-frame-alist.
