different fonts in Emacs and Emacsclient!?

different fonts in Emacs and Emacsclient!?

[Peter Tury]

Hi,

I have different (size) fonts when I start Emacs (via 'emacs') and
emacsclient (via 'emacsclient -c -a=""').

What can be the reason, what to check?

Thanks,P

I use "GNU Emacs 23.1.91.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.3)
 of 2010-01-10" on Ubuntu 9.10.

My .emacs has "
(custom-set-faces
 '(default ((t (:inherit nil :stipple nil :background
"#ffffff" :foreground "#1a1a1a" :inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-
through nil :overline nil :underline nil :slant normal :weight
normal :height 120 :width normal :foundry "unknown" :family
"Inconsolata")))))
".

My ~/.Xresources is
"Emacs.FontBackend: x,xft
Xft.dpi: 129"

Maybe it helps to set default- and initial-frame-alist...

Thanks, Peter, for the suggestion!

In fact I already have these (related to frame-settings) in my .emacs:

 '(default-frame-alist (quote ((tool-bar-lines . 0) (menu-bar-lines .
1))))
 '(display-buffer-reuse-frames t)
 '(emacsw32-style-frame-title t) ;; I use EmacsW32 on MS Windows and
try to use the same .emacs...
 '(initial-frame-alist (quote ((top . 20) (left . 430) (height . 58)
(width . 100))))
 '(special-display-frame-alist (quote ((height . 44) (width . 75)
(unsplittable . t) (user-size . t) (left . 10) (top . 10) (user-
position . t))))
 '(w32-feeling-max-frames nil)

It seems for me that fonts are OK when I start "emacs". If I run
`server-start' and then connect to it with "emacsclient -c", then
fonts remain OK. I guess maybe the '-a=""' option starts the server
(daemon) in a different (faulty?) way...?

For me it seems the problem is around --daemon: if I

1a) start emacs as daemon and then
1b) connect to it (with emacsclient),

I get different fonts than if I

2a) start emacs normally, then
2b) start server in it (with `server-start') and then
2c) connect to it (with emacsclient).

It seems as if daemon start would somehow loose some (user-related?)
info affecting final font size. I don't know if fork, execvp etc.
(used in emacs.c for handling --daemon) could cause this...

Why do you use it at all?

((Long story: because I start emacs as daemon when I start Ubuntu.
After this I always use emacsclient for "everything". Some "default"
things are set for this scenario in my Ubuntu. However, these defaults
should work well also in the exceptional cases when I killed emacs
before (could happen sometines). So these defaults should have -a=""
to work properly always.))

However, as I wrote above, it seems the problem is not with -a="", but
with --daemon itself...

No font or fontset, no default-frame-alist.

If I understand you well, your suggestion would be some kind of a
workaround solution, am I right?

Default-frame-alist is set as well (without font settings), please
find it above.

I feel that if "(custom-set-faces '(default ..." is set, and no fonts
are set elsewhere, then it should work without any further settings.
Especially: it should work for "emacs" and "emacs --daemon" in the
very same way, isn't it.

Hi, well, I face the similiar problem. I start emacs --daemon and it
seems that some user based configuration doesn't come up. Therefore the
emacsclient opens a frame without any color/font adjustments. Greetings,
Daniel.
