Subject: changing font and font size in terminal emacs-27.2
Date: Fri, 06 Aug 2021 22:33:29 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8535rm8pzy.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)

How do I change the font and size when I run emacs in a terminal i.e
emacs-nox?  I'm running emacs-27.2 in wsl and for the GUI emacs I can
configure the font like so

;; GNU Emacs 27.2 (build 4, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.20,
;; cairo version 1.16.0) of 2021-08-06
   
(message "setting font type and size")
 (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist
                       '(font . "Cascadia Mono-13"))
;;(set-frame-font "-outline-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-r-normal-normal-*-*-130-130-c-*-iso8859-1")
;;(set-frame-font "-outline-Cascadia Mono-normal-normal-normal-mono-17-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1")

this same init file when read by emacs-nox doesn't seem to apply the
font.  C-u C-x = in terminal emacs doesn't show the font type.  The
manual section doesn't mention anything about terminal based emacs and
addresses 4 methods for the GUI emacs only.
