It is -Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--17-120-100-100-M-100-ISO8859-1. I then tried the command emacs23 -fn -Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--17-120-100-100-M-100-ISO8859-1, and it worked! I then located the font file (called n022003l.pfb on my Debian system), converted it to True Type using FontForge, and loaded it as a True Type font in Emacs: the characters themselves had exactly the same size, but the vertical approaches were bigger (slightly bigger below, and lots bigger above the character). It is as if Emacs 22 would crop the approaches, while it is not the case with True Type fonts. It would be great to be able to have such cropping with True Type fonts. Nicolas
