Thanks in advance! If you really want to run emacs in a terminal, use emacs -nw (no window) BTW, You can configure the which font emacs uses via the .Xresources file, or the customise menu (this might be beta emacs only; I use Xemacs which has had font customisation in the main release for a while now).
