Hi
I am using emacs (21.1) under X server (fvwm ) environment where I
connect to the X server using vnc client. Running emacs results into a
new X window where fonts are very small. This has started when I
sytared using a computer with high resolution (1440x900). When I
increase the font size to say 9x15, it takes quite a lot of time to
do this. It gives an illusion of emacs getting hung. Please help. Does
anybody know of a quick fix ?
Thanks

I don't have a fix, but maybe specifying the font on the command
line helps avoid it. Also you could try a more recent version of Emacs.

Imagine ~/.Xdefaults-<X client name>. There you can set a particular
font (and more) for the remote GNU Emacs.

you can also set it in .emacs
(defun na-resize-frame-big ()
"Set size"
(interactive)
(set-face-attribute 'default (selected-frame) :height 130 :width 'normal)
(set-frame-width (selected-frame) 178)
(set-frame-height (selected-frame) 50 )
(set-frame-position (selected-frame) 0 1))
when you call this function it will make emacs full screen with bigger
fonts. to set a particular font you can use
(set-default-font "monaco")
or for firefox like cycling you can try
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/CycleFontSizes

Amazing. Thanks !!! It worked. Ilike this '9x15' font and want to set
on my xterm too.
Do you know what is the expansion for '9x15' ? For example '6x13' is a
nickname of
"-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-*-*-*-c-60-iso8859-1"
I am looking for similar expansion for 9x15.
Thanks in advance.
