I've dealt with the same issues here. It helped to put an entry in my .Xdefaults file in my home-dir with: --*-- .Xdefaults entry for emacs X11R6 --*-- emacs*title:cor@cleopatra.clsnet.nl emacs.font:9x15 --*-- end --*-- it could be that on higherres screens than my 1280x2034 10x20 or 9x15bold 10x20bold could do the job also. It 's rather annoying to do the Options => Mule set-font with mouse trick every time one start emacs starts. This does not interfere with CLI. BTW the SuSe Linux distribution has a nice app-default/Emacs file to set the globals. cor -- (defvar my-computer '((OS . "GNU-Emacs") (shell .
