"-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(# 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.
