All seems to be working fine with the following exception: In my previous system I had the following snippet in my .emacs file: ;; ---------------------- Begin frames section ------------------------= --- ;; How frames are created by default (setq default-frame-alist '((width . 85) (height . 48) (top . 16) (left . 200) =09(cursor-color . "red") (cursor-type . box) (font . "-cronyx-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-13-120-*-*-*-*-*-*") (foreground-color . "LimeGreen") (background-color . "Black"))) ;; The initial frame (setq initial-frame-alist '((width . 85) (height . 43) (top . 16) (left . 50) =09(cursor-color . "red") (cursor-type . box) (font . "-cronyx-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-14-130-*-*-*-*-*-*") (foreground-color . "LimeGreen") (background-color . "Black"))) ;; ---------------------- End frames section --------------------------= which worked as expected. Now, although I've confirmed the existence of the font with xfontsel, Emacs does not load the corresponding font. The only way I found Emacs would use the desired default font was through the corresponding line in .Xresources and commenting out the lines specifying the font in my .emacs file. The problem is that now I can't have different default fonts for the initial and the default frame. Any help would be greatly appreciated luis --=20 Luis Octavio Silva Pereyra.
