What's wrong with it? If you specify a font of 20-pixelsize, the font for variable-pitch should be 20-pixelsize too. I thought that specifying a fixed width font as a command line argument would lead to fixed width through out. It doesn't. No matter; I hardly ever look at the splash screen anyhow. To my eyes, with a variable-pitch font on my screen, it looks perfectly well. > However, evaluating (find-file "~/.emacs-simple") shows > x:-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso8859-1 (#x72) For a character of which buffer is it shown? And, do you mean that it should be something else? For ~/.emacs-simple. The font is correct. Indeed, I am using today's GNU Emacs CVS, Mon, 2008 Jul 14 10:20 UTC GNU Emacs 23.0.60.8 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.10) as I said before, but with a more complex .emacs file, with 28 buffers, and all is well. I am sending you this email from that instance. Thank you again. -- Robert J. Chassell GnuPG Key ID: 004B4AC8 bob@rattlesnake.com bob@gnu.org http://www.rattlesnake.com http://www.teak.cc
