I open the "Carbon Emacs" window by issuing a command (e.g., / Applications/../Emacs) in an X window. And I can use the options -fg for text font color and -bg for background color, and they work. But I cannot use the -fn option. Whatever font I choose from the font list as produced with the command "xlsfonts", I get the error message No fonts match '(my font name)' Meanwhile, the -fn option works perfectly when I open an X window with the command "xterm". For instance, I use "xterm -fn 10x20" to get a font that is larger than the default one. So why is the -fn option not working for "Carbon Emacs"? Thanks for reading and replying. --Roland
