Here's a screenshot of the situation: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=224751841&size=o Notice how the font in the 'xfontsel' application and the Konsole window - the one I'm trying to get Emacs to use - is still different from what Emacs is displaying after executing the (set-default-font "-*-console-*-*-*-*-17-*-*-*-*-*-*-*") command shown in the scratch buffer. The 'console' font does not show up in the pop-up menu when when I shift-left-click in Emacs. I've tried lots of combinations in place of the wildcards in the font selection string, with no real luck. Any tips? Thanks
