what do you want to achive? that emacs has the correct font straight
away?

well under X11 you can use the x-resource to set the font correct right
from the start. but don't forget the lisp var settings: i think, emacs
needs them as well. 

i guess the emacs faq has something exactly about your problem.

hope that helps

Yes, I would like to eliminate the initial refresh and to have the frame 
  maximized. I think that there is a file under the emacs installation 
where are configured (I suppose /usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp)

The Emacs startup code defines a few hook variables designed for such
situations: if these variables are non-nil, Emacs calls the functions
they list at certain strategic points of its startup procedure.
Search startup.el for "-hook" to see the whole story.

In this case, `after-init-hook' seems to be what you want: write a
short function that maximizes the frame, and set `after-init-hook' to
that function.  See the doc string of `after-init-hook' for more
details.

I'm using emacs 21.3 in linux gentoo. I suppose that the cause is in a 
file in
/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp that is loaded before my .emacs but I don't 
know which is it.

startup resize

[Giannandrea Castaldi]

I've changed my font in .emacs and now when emacs starts it:
1. start with default font
2. maximize the frame
3. change the font (for my settings in .emacs)
How can I remove the step 2 (maximize the frame) or postpone it after my 
font setting?

Thanks for any help.
