Hunting for proper values is not exactly very friendly. set-default-font is the only command in the standard "Options" menu for Emacs and, therefore, the one most likely to be used. It seems, though, that set-default-font has different forms depending on how Emacs is compiled. I suspect (but would like to know more) that it has one form=20 if compiled with the X libraries and another without X. The form with X (for me) put an X box for "Font Menu" with only 3 options (Misc, Courier, and Fontset) which I can't figure how to use. The form without X seemed to put up a dialog box that allowed you to pick fonts while seeing examples of the font which was much easier. I'm not a fonts person, so it's difficult for me to figure out the best way of compiling Gnu Emacs 26.3 to make the most of fonts. Any help? -- David Masterson
