I'm a longtime user of XEmacs, and am trying this recent Emacs release. I was impressed that the menu Options >> Set Default Font... brought up the standard Apple font dialog, and that I was able to set a default font for the current window, namely Anonymous Pro 18. However, there doesn't seem to be any way to easily preserve that choice over multiple Emacs launches. Options >> Save Defaults is the obvious choice, but it has no apparent effect - the next Emacs launch reverts to the default font, and I see no "Anonymous Pro" in ~/.emacs or anywhere else I could find. Nor could I find anything in the customization menus that would preserve this simple "default font/size" choice; instead, the docs take me (as is the emacs/xemacs usual) through the bewildering choices of X11,faces,etc,etc. I mucked about for a bit but could find nothing that would preserve this simple default font font choice. I'm looking for an programming editor to suggest to my students. I really like emacs, but setting it up has often been problematic. This version looks like it has good Mac OS integration, but if even this first customization step failed, my confidence isn't high. With the apparent requirement of setting the font each time the application launches, it isn't going to do me much good. ------------------------------------ In GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.8.0, NS apple-appkit-949.54) of 2009-08-16 on black.local Windowing system distributor `Apple', version 10.3.949 configured using `configure '--with-ns'' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: nil value of $XMODIFIERS: nil locale-coding-system: nil default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Major mode: Info Minor modes in effect: highlight-changes-visible-mode: t tooltip-mode: t mouse-wheel-mode: t menu-bar-mode: t file-name-shadow-mode: t global-font-lock-mode: t font-lock-mode: t global-auto-composition-mode: t auto-composition-mode: t auto-encryption-mode: t auto-compression-mode: t line-number-mode: t transient-mark-mode: t Recent input: C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-v C-v C-v C-v C-v C-v C-v C-v C-v C-v C-v C-v C-v C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p < C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-p C-a C-p C-p u C-s d e f a u l t SPC f o n C-a C-p C-p u C-s f o n t C-a C-n C-s C-s C-n C-a C-p C-a C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-p C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n Recent messages: Creating group state...
