Hi,

I am happy using the alpha version of Emacs23 with the xft extension.
However, I could not find a font that is just "right": Monospace-11
looks very "weak".  I am looking for something not to tall (number of
horizontal lines is important so I can fit more code on a screen).
set-default-font snippets are welcome.

Thanks,

Tamas
