Thanks.. fc-list shows:
fc-list |grep -i incons
Inconsolata:style=Medium
And fc-list -v shows:
family: "Inconsolata"(s)
fullname: "Inconsolata"(s)
file: "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-[...]
So that nails down the family... is there no `foundry'? (the next
question on the widget list)
But any way, when I set default font `Family' to Inconsolata and
save. When I reopen emacs, that saved customization has disappeared
and adobe courier comes up in its place. I commented out any font
related stuff in .Xdefaults for testing so the setting of:
-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--14-140-75-75-m-90-iso8859-1
Must be some kind of system default... or maybe an emacs default.
Someone on another list suggested I put this in .Xdefaults:
emacs.FontBackend: xft
Emacs.font: Inconsolata-12
(I am running xfs and xfstt servers)
Doing that, then starting emacs-24 from command line I get:
`Font `Inconsolata-12 ' is not defined'
Same error if use Inconsolata-medium
