Harry> (I am running xfs and xfstt servers) AFAIK that is not relevant, since the font servers only work for bitmapped fonts. xft fonts need to be installed locally. I may be wrong here, though. Harry> Doing that, then starting emacs-24 from command line I get: `Font Harry> `Inconsolata-12 ' is not defined' I got a similar message when I tried to use a xft font for the menu on the Lucid build. It turned out the Lucid toolkit (which is only used for the menu and for the scrollbar) couldn't handle xft fonts, that is why I asked which build you had. Make sure xft is configured in when you build. -- Ian Zimmerman gpg public key: 1024D/C6FF61AD fingerprint: 66DC D68F 5C1B 4D71 2EE5 BD03 8A00 786C C6FF 61AD Rule 420: All persons more than eight miles high to leave the court.
