Since you've suggested an xrdb solution for the geometry, perhaps he'll entertain an xrdb solution for the font as well. Here's what I have in ~/.Xdefaults to get a 14 point Courier font by default: Emacs*Font: -*-courier-medium-r-*--*-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 But iso10646-1 might be more useful than iso8859-1. -- Kevin Rodgers
