Re: Default face - font questions.

Thanks for the affirmation!

I'm an occasional emacs user but every time i come back to use it i 
found some aspect that buffles me a littile. This time it was the 
font-face relation.

I was reading the emacswiki page i mentioned in my previous email trying 
to figure things out.

ps: for the extroneous characters . i use thuderbird , maybe its the 
copy paste from emacswiki that wasnt done neatle?
