If you have not done so yet, try adding a line like this: Emacs.font: DejaVu Sans Mono-10 To your .Xresources file, running "xrdb ~/.Xresources" from the command-line, and restarting Emacs. AUCTeX works for me as you would like, and I've not set any variables in my .emacs especially to achieve this. -- Taylor Venable taylor@metasyntax.net http://www.metasyntax.net/
