Set default font for all frames

Set default font for all frames

[Richard Hoskins]

I have this in my init.el:

(set-frame-font "Envy Code R-18")

But when I make a new frame, Monoco is used.  How can I set a default
font so that all new frames respect the setting?

Using GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.7.0, NS apple-appkit-949.46)

Thank you.

I use (in my init.el):

,----
| (set-frame-font "-apple-STHeiti-medium-normal-normal-*-18-*-*-*-p-0-iso10646-1")
`----


You can do M-x set-frame-font and use TAB to get font list, and then
copy name of your favorite font and put into init.el.

HTH,

	(setq initial-frame-alist
	  (append (list
	    '(border-color      . "#4e3832")
	    '(foreground-color  . "grey10")
	    '(background-color  . "AliceBlue")
	    '(active-alpha      . 0.875)
	    '(inactive-alpha    . 0.75)
	    '(font . "fontset-10pt_lucidatypewriter")
;	    '(font . "Envy Code R-18")
	    '(top . 136) '(left . 666) '(width . 100) '(height . 57)
	  ) initial-frame-alist))

And there is also default-frame-alist for all (other) frames.

For some reason, this fortune reminds everyone of Marvin Zelkowitz.
