When I begin a new emacs session, the font family I chose is displayed, but in a different size. I know ~/.emacs is being executed because my keyboard shortcuts are all still working. If I use C-x C-e to run the custom-set-face defun in ~/.emacs, the correct font-size is restored. So I adopted the working hypothesis that emacs, X or my window manager is applying some other customization after ~/.emacs is parsed. I've trawled through all the configuration files I could find, namely ~/.emacs, /etc/emacs/site-start.el, /etc/X11/app-defaults/Emacs, /etc/X11/Xresources, /etc/X11/XF86Config, ~/.kde/share/applnk-mdk/Applications/Editors/Emacs.desktop, /usr/share/apps/kappfinder/apps/Editors/emacs.desktop, and /usr/share/apps/kdisplay/app-defaults/Emacs.ad, and removed every font-related command and every string of font settings (don't worry, I made backups). This was to no avail. I'm running GNU Emacs 21.2.93.1, in X, and I'm using IceWM as my window manager (is that terribly gauche of me? I only started using GNU/Linux a week or so ago). The theme I'm using in IceWM is Breaker51. Do you have a solution or suggestion? Regards, Buster Copley
