However, I'm having trouble getting the font parameter for separate frames for things like Man, to do what they were doing with the previous version. I had the font parameter specified as this: ---<---------------cut here---------------start-------------->--- (custom-set-variables [...] '(Man-frame-parameters (quote ((width . 115) (font . "10x20")))) '(special-display-frame-alist (quote ((width . 80) (font . "10x20")))) [...] ) ---<---------------cut here---------------end---------------->--- It seems as if something has changed in the way this parameter needs to be specified, as neither the short form of the font (e.g. "10x20") nor the long one (e.g. "-xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--20-200-72-72-c-100-iso8859-1) are taken into account when calling M-x manual-entry or functions that use the special-display-frame-alist. What has changed in the way this parameter should be specified? Thanks in advance, -- Sebastian P. Luque
