To put it short, there is some problem with Emacs' timing between setting the font and telling the window manager how big the frame is (or maybe the other way around, I don't know X). I can't explain it any better than with a screen shot: http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/7521/200906061652201280x800s.png In earlier versions of Emacs 23, I managed to solve the problem by setting the font in .Xdefaults, but now not even that works. I am not sure which revision this was "broken" in and to be honest, I just want to know how I can work around it. Any help is appreciated. -- Deniz Dogan
