Hi,
I am trying to get the GUI emacs to use the same font as my terminal (the
terminal has "use the system fixed width font" checked).
I've read in the manual
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Fonts.html
That I can set font-use-system-font to t, however, that variable seems to
be undefined for me.
I am using Emacs 24.3 on Centos 6.5 with Gnome 2 as my desktop.
Thanks.
Jai

Note where the manual says "For this to work, Emacs must have been
compiled with Gconf support." Perhaps your Emacs wasn't?
A lower-tech, non-gconfy alternative would be to set both Emacs and
terminal font via X resources, e.g. "*font: foo".

Thanks for the reply. I guess I just want Emacs to use whatever the system
font is my terminal uses by default.. I have no idea what that is, so I
guess I'll have to figure out these X settings stuffs.
