My apologies for my denseness--I am completely new to Emacs, and am struggling. When I do like the above, I then get a request for information like Font name: But I don't know what I am supposed to input here. When I do this: > (insert (frame-parameter nil 'font)) Then, when I start Emacs, the first thing I get is a listing of an Adobe Courier 12 point font. But I don't know what I should do with this. Is there any chance that I could get you to explain just a bit further. I think I am almost there (I have gotten XML validation working, MEW working, and Japanese input working, so I should be able to work through this matter of default fonts!)
