Hi,
I want to set my default face to a different size depending on the
host I'm on. Alternatively, I'd like to set it to a particular pixel
size regardless of the DPI setting (because that's what I'm really
trying to do!).
I can see a couple of ways of doing this:
1. Use X resources.
2. Use /bin/hostname.
In case 1, how do I set the size desired for an Xft font?
In case 2, how do I cope with the following comment I find in my
current customization file:
;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
?
I used to set an X resource Xft.dpi to the same value on all hosts,
but that doesn't seem to affect Emacs 23.

You can use family:pixelsize=px as font name.

Thanks. How do I make an X resource setting take precedence over a
customization? Currently, I have:
emacs.font: xft:Deja Vu Sans Mono:pixelsize=14
but even after erasing the customization for "default" face, this
seems to have no effect.
It would be easier if I could set a pixel size customization, but as
far as I can see there's no way to do that?

Thanks; bizarrely, the family name, which as you say was wrong, was
copied from a working setting for urxvt; I guess it must somehow make
allowances for spaces; what you suggested:

seems to work fine.

I don't have a fonts.config file. To what does it belong? My Ubuntu
system seems to use fontconfig, and "monospace" seems to be used as
DejaVu Sans Mono's default family, though whether that means the
default monospace font is DejaVu Sans Mono, I don't know; certainly
under GNOME I have configured DejaVu Sans Mono as the default
monospaced font in its font preferences.

But of course that doesn't work, as height is dpi-dependent, which is
where I came in: trying to get a dpi-independent, i.e. pixel-based
setting (happens to work better for me across different machines, as I
can't easily seem to get per-machine settings any other way, given
that my Emacs configuration files are synchronised between my
machines, so that my environment is kept up to date on all of them).

There actually is a Gnome format and a fontconfig format for font names. When
you say :pixelsize=14, Emacs assumes fontconfig. Maybe Deja Vu is ok in the
Gnome format.

/etc/fonts/fonts.conf and also files in /etc/fonts/conf.d. On my system,
/etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf maps monospace to DejaVu Sans Mono.

Fontconfig's algorithm for matching fonts should ignore (most?) spaces.
I just tested:
:; fc-match 'Deja Vu Serif-14.4'
DejaVuSerif.ttf: "DejaVu Serif" "Book"

Got it, I have that too. Thanks. I think I prefer to ask specifically
for DejaVu Sans Mono, though I guess that if that's true I should just
copy the current 60-latin.conf into ~/.fonts.conf ?

Sure, but Emacs has its own parser.

No need, files in /etc are used. You only need ~/.fonts.conf if
additions or changes to them are needed.

My point was rather that I wanted to protect against the default
monotype font changing in the system files. Since I'd rather do this
once and for all rather than once per system, the logical thing to do
seemed to be to copy the current system setting (which maps monospace
to DejaVu Mono Sans) to my home directory's settings (which are
synched between all the machines I use).

Is there still an Emacs issue here, and if so could someone summarize
what it is?

No, AFAICT. Closing the bug.
