Could be you need to add some more keys =96 weight, slant, styles, =20 registry, encoding ... for me it worked at once to switch to another =20 font (Bitstream Vera Sans Mono) with (set-default-font "-*-bitstream =20 vera sans mono-medium-r-*-*-0-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1"). To see some more fonts in the Font Menu *you* need to add them (or =20 contribute a routine that finds automatically system monospaced fonts =20= on a dozen windowing architectures)! The object to edit is x-fixed-=20 font-alist. You could also create new fontsets ... -- Greetings Pete Upgraded: Didn't work the first time.
