Emacs application window resizes everytime I start

Emacs application window resizes everytime I start

[n179911]

Hi,

I am running emacs on ubuntu 10.10. Everytime I start Emacs, the
application window is big and then resize.
I assume it is caused by me setting the default font in .emacs file
(via the emacs menu time, 'Set default face').

Is there anyway to avoid emacs resize its application windows everytime I start?

Thank you.

Before evaluating ~/.emacs, the window manager will create the emacs
frame as indicated by ~/.Xresources ; to avoid any change of size, you
should put the same size (and position) there as in ~/.emacs.


emacs.geometry:                             81x71-68+0
emacs.dialog*.background:                   LightBlue1
emacs*pane.background:                      LightBlue1
emacs*menu*background:                      LightBlue1
emacs*menubar*background:                   LightBlue1
emacs*verticalScrollBar.background:         LightBlue1
emacs*verticalScrollBar.throughColor:       LightBlue3
emacs*background:                           LightBlue1
emacs*foreground:                           DarkSlateBlue
emacs*pointerColor:                         Black
emacs*cursorColor:                          Red
emacs*bitmapIcon:                           off

emacs.font:         6x12
emacs.menu.font:    6x12
!! emacs.font:      fixed

I have added these to my .Xresources. I don't care about matching the
color , I just want the emacs window does not resize everytime I
resize the window.
emacs.geometry:                             81x71-68+0
emacs.font:         9x15
emacs.menu.font:    9x15

This is my .emacs about setting my font:
; theme
(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/scheung/bin/elisp/color-theme-6.6.0")
(load-file "/home/scheung/bin/elisp/color-theme-almost-monokai.el")
(require 'color-theme)
(eval-after-load "color-theme"
 '(progn
    (color-theme-initialize)
    (color-theme-almost-monokai)))
(custom-set-faces
  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(default ((t (:inherit nil :stipple nil :background "#000000"
:foreground "#F8F8F2" :inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil
:overline nil :underline nil :slant normal :weight normal :height 90
:width normal :foundry "unknown" :family "Droid Sans Mono"))))
