Not > funny. Linux can be a bit more complicated: it has two "font services:" one =20 supplied by the X server (X client xfontsel, on the command line =20 xlsfonts) and one handled by the human client, based on libfontconfig =20= (fc-list or fc-match on the command line). A rather fool-proof method to determine the system's font repertoire is: M-x set-frame-font RET TAB TAB The X server supplies fonts named like this one: -b&h-=20 lucidatypewriter-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-m-*-iso10646-1, libfontconfig =20 loves simple names: LucidaSansTypewriter or LucidaTypewriter or =20 Lucida Sans Typewriter, mostly followed by a predicate =20 like :style=3DBold or such. -- Greetings Pete It's not the valleys in life I dread so much as the dips. =96 Garfield
