Hi John, Probably the neatest way to do this would be through X resources - into the appropriate file (mighjt be .Xresources or .Xdefaults ) put the line emacs*font: lucidasanstypewriter-12 or whichever font you like. I'm using XEmacs here - Gnu Emacs has a list of X resources somewhere - maybe in the FAQ hth Glyn
