Subject: Uniform font size for English and Tamil text inside GNU Emacs
Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2015 23:40:27 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CABG-yt3VKCOYSO+1145=8XtpdU+G-0ZeasLojA5jMfQSKMk9eA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I create UTF-8 files in GNU Emacs 24.3.1 with both English and Tamil
(native language) text. An example is illustrated below:

  http://shakthimaan.com/dump/emacs-english-tamil.png

I see that the Tamil font size is very small when compared to the
English text. I use the following in my emacs init scripts:

  (defun fontify-frame (frame)
    (set-frame-parameter frame 'font "DejaVu Sans Mono"))

Is there a way to get both the language font texts to be of the same
size, or, is there a way to explicitly set the font size for the Tamil
text?

I wonder how it looks for other non-English text inside Emacs.

Appreciate any inputs in this regard,

Thanks!

SK
