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
