font problem (again)

font problem (again)

[Luca Ferrari]

Hi all,
I'm using emacs 22.2.1, from the ubuntu 64 bit repository. My .emacs file 
contains the following as last line:


(set-frame-font "-*-Courier-bold-*-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*")
(setq initial-frame-alist '((width . 100)(height . 40)) )

However, the startup font is not the selected one. If I select the same font 
from the options/set font menu I can get such font working. This is really 
annoying, is there a way to force the startup font?


Thanks,
Luca

I believe you want

    (set-default-font "-*-Courier-bold-*-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*")

but I couldn't tell you for sure.  I use M-x customize-face default to
get my font working the way I want it.

Sorry, this is not working. Emacs is behaving the same way, that is it still 
ignores the setting.

Anything else I could try to set up the fonts?
