&gt; Hi all,<br>
&gt; I would like to know what is the name of the default font in emacs. I<br>
&gt; donot like the default font that comes with the ubuntu package. I used<br>
&gt; emacs that I compiled from the source. For some reasons now I&#39;m stuck up<br>
&gt; with the emacs installed from the ubuntu repo. I liked the default font<br>
&gt; that came with it. So I never cared about the font.  I read some where<br>
&gt; about cse-huji-default-font but could not find this using the M-x<br>
&gt; command. (describe-variable).<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; The font I&#39;m talking about is some what similar to the font in this web<br>
&gt; page <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/tour/" target="_blank">http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/tour/</a> .<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; So please let me know what the default font of emacs is how to set it.<br>
<br>
</div></div>I don&#39;t know about what the default font is on different systems, but<br>
this is the line I&#39;m using to configure the default face (I&#39;m also on<br>
Ubuntu).<br>
<br>
  (set-face-attribute &#39;default nil :height 110 :family &quot;DejaVu Sans Mono&quot;)<br>
<br>
Dan<br>
<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Thanks.<br>
