Unfortunately the list of fonts available is only a very minor subset of the fonts I have, and none of the ones I would like to use is available. After googling for an answer I mysteriously found some way of listing all fonts available (now lost), which showed a myriad of fonts - a *lot* more than in the GUI font picker utility. Sadly, not every font was listed (for instance Monaco). So what I am wondering is how to add/select fonts that are not available in the drop down menu. Nice if you also *know* it generally works, and not just on the (type of) font you use ;-) The programming (mono)fonts I would like to be able to use in Emacs are: Proggy Clean Deja Vu Sans Monaco Trisk Raize Please don't troll this into a "Why would you _ever_ choose font X? The one that comes with Emacs is more than adequate!" discussion. This is a general question, and does not really have much to do with the fonts in themselves, although the *type* of font (raster vs vector) might.
