"STFangsong" is the name of a TrueType font as reported by the fontconfig service (fc-list for example). "STFangsong-16" is the fontconfig specification of the STFangsong (normal, regular) font at 16 pt size. Once you've set up your own fontset, you can make it active by specifying it in default-frame-alist (there's also initial-frame- alist) in your init file: (setq default-frame-alist (append (list '(font . "fontset-10pt_lucida_sans_typewriter") ) default-frame-alist))) -- Greetings Pete Build a man a fire and he'll be warm for a night, but set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
