OK to test it I even tried # su - nobody #super clean environment $ HOME=/tmp emacs -fn -sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--48-120-100-100-c-80-iso8859-1 But that acts just like $ emacs besides the man page says -fn font, --font font Set the Emacs window's font to that specified by font. You will find the various X fonts in the /usr/lib/X11/fonts directory. But here on Debian Sid there is no such directory.
