startup resize

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.

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

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.

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.
