See my Emacs window looked like when started from Gnome: http://www.mygooglest.com/sva/Consolas-in-Emacs-23-from-Gnome.png and, now, from StumpWM (in all above cases): http://www.mygooglest.com/sva/Consolas-in-Emacs-23-from-StumpWM.png It is even unreadable sometimes (look at the "Happy New Year" sentence). What's weird is that: o characters look somehow bolder than before, but less readable because some sort of stretch; o characters that are really in bold look as perfect under StumpWM as they were under Gnome: those seem unchanged. >>> Xft.rgba: rgb > > Use this only if you have a TFT.
