Hello Eli,
I  changed the .emacs file to what you wrote:
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "-outline-Courier New-normal-r-normal-normal-24-180-96-96-c-*-iso8859-1"))
Unfortunately, it has not worked. When i start emacs, I get this error
message:
-------------------------------
(/usr/local/bin/emacs)
Loading tool-bar...done
Loading image...done
Loading tooltip...done


An error has occurred while loading `/home/neil/.emacs':

Symbol's value as variable is void: PK

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate the cause
of the error in your initialization file and remove it.  Start
Emacs with the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error
backtrace

-------------------------------

So i re-start emacs with the command: emacs --debug-init and got this
output (the line beginning with # could not be recreated for this message
though)
-------------------------------
 Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable PK)
  eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*> nil "~/.emacs" nil t)
  load-with-code-conversion("/home/neil/.emacs" "~/.emacs" t t)
  load("~/.emacs" t t)
  #[nil "…—default" inhibit-default-init inhibit-startup-message] 5]()
  command-line()
  normal-top-level()
-------------------------------

I have no idea what the problem is here but are you able to re-write the
command for me.??.im guessing that some small detail could have been
wrong.

Thank you for your help.
