I also checked the font string that I was using within Emacs when launched from Gnome by: o launching `ielm'; o typing `(frame-parameters)'; o and looking at the "font" string. I've copied that string: (font . "-microsoft-consolas-regular-normal-normal--11-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-= startup") to my `.stumpwm' init file: (set-font "-microsoft-consolas-regular-normal-normal--11-*-*-*-*-*-fontse= t-startup") But it is still no better (after having restarted the X server). What am I missing? Thank you very much! Seb --=20 S=C3=A9bastien=C2=A0Vauban
