Subject: bug#25168: 25.1; variable-pitch face misbehaves
Date: Sun, 11 Dec 2016 05:47:25 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <22605.11965.719480.82725@gargle.gargle.HOWL> (raw)
I'm using Emacs with a rather large default font. One thing that
doesn't work well on Windows is variable-pitch face: it is much
smaller than my usual font. Another way to see this without
customizing the font:
* run `info`
* use `text-scale-adjust` to make the font larger
* notice that variable-pitch headers stay at the same size
I looked at the definition of the face and followed the linked
discussion: indeed, when I try to reset the face to the same (using
just :family "Sans Serif") I get a bold-italic version of Arial, and
the best I could get was a larger version of plain Arial (using a
similar string, with a larger number instead of a "*") that is
similarly unaffected by size settings.
