Thank you. However, I still can't understand how things are supposed to
work. In my .Xdefaults I set default font to courier-14. Now if I
do (set-face-attribute 'default nil :family "fixed"), shall new frames
get courier-14 or fixed-14? Currently they get fixed-14 but with the
font metrics of courier-14, so the frame is not 80 characters wide, but
more like 87 characters.
If I select courier 12 from the shift-down-1 menu, shall I get
courier-12
or fixed-12? Currently I get fixed-12 (with courier-12 font metrics).
