When I open emacs -nw in a terminal, the terminal's profile preferences are set to Monospace 12, however, when I open up emacs without a terminal, I get a completely different set of fonts, and frankly, they're hard on my eyes. How can I change the emacs settings so that the font displayed is Monspace size 12? I tried all solutions under "Globally Change the Default Font" found here: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SetFonts#toc2 But I've had no luck.. the font is still the same original one. What am I missing? Thanks much! Jai
