How can I test it?=20 >=20 Make sure you have gconf development libraries installed (libgconf(2)-dev= (el)=20 or similar package). Run configure. Set font-use-system-font to t (it is in the menu Options = also). Use Gnome settings to change the monospaced font. Also try to change dpi, hinting style and so on (this should work on KDE=20 also). Emacs frames should be updated at once. Jan D.
