Hi

options > set font > misc, 8x13

Once you've used the GUI to select your font.

; Move to scratch
C-x C-b *scratch*

; Type the following, it gets the current font value
(frame parameter nil 'font)

; Execute the above emacs function -With cursor after last bracket
C-j

; Open your initial emacs file ( or where ever you want to put it)
C-x C-f ~/.emacs

; Add the following, changing the font as appropriate.
(set-default-font "-outline-Arial-normal-italic-normal-sans-16-*-*-*-p-
*-iso8859-1")


; Save
C-x  C-s
