'emacs -Q -fn 7x13' should work You can check the explicit name of the font in /usr/share/fonts/misc/fonts.alias 7x13 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1 7x13bold -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1 7x13euro -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-70-iso8859-15 7x13eurobold -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-70-iso8859-15 What I have in .emacs is like: (when (equal window-system 'x) (set-face-font 'default "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-70-iso10646-1")) Since you want to display cyrillic I changed iso8859 (latin1) to iso10646 (unicode) in the fontname. PS: Not related to your question, but this is also worth checking for setting a list of fonts and changing them on the fly with the keyboard: Firefox-like zooming of fonts. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CycleFontSizes
