I think it > should be there if the xlsfonts can list it. What I can think of is, font-config is being used. It has it's own configuration file(s) (system and user). (fc-cache, fc-list, fontconfig(3)) I thought you would try to find in xfontsel a font name without any asterisks, i.e. with everything specified. And using the select button you would not be able to make a mistake (like above?) when passing this font name to GNU Emacs. -- Greetings Pete It's not the valleys in life I dread so much as the dips. -- Garfield
