Emacs was installed using the apt-get system. In my .Xdefaults on slack, I used the following directive: Emacs*Font: -adobe-times-bold-i-normal--12-120-75-75-p-68-iso8859-1 and was very happy with the display. The same 'code' on ubuntu has unhappy results, everything is in italics. Commenting out that code makes for a nice display, but font is too large for my preference. Does anyone have any recommendations? I used xlsfonts >file to capture the output and tried a few settings, but nothing pleased me... thanks tim
