Hi,

I'm new to emacs. And I would like to know the way to setup my favourite
font to use in emacs in WinXP plateform. There are numerable fonts to
choose, but is there any way to add some more fonts in emacs?

Thanks for help!

Marcus

While I may look outdated, I like GNU intlfonts. I recall that about
five years ago I used them under Windows. They may be slightly more
difficult to set up, but the amount of the covered writing systems is
huge, and Cyrillic and Greek are almost just as important for me as
Latin. Oh, and they look fine :)

If you do manage to get them set up, can you post what you did? That
might be valuable for a lot of people!

Under Windows, I more or less followed the instructions from
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/faq5.html#bdf-fonts. As for
the Linux setup, it's relatively straightforward. At least, as long as
you follow the instructions in README.

As for the Emacs settings, they only concern the printing functions:

(require 'ps-print)
(require 'ps-bdf)
(setq
 ps-mule-font-info-database ps-mule-font-info-database-bdf
 bdf-directory-list '("/usr/local/share/emacs/fonts/bdf")
 ps-multibyte-buffer 'bdf-font
 ps-print-header nil
 ps-print-color-p nil
 ps-font-size 10)

Just add _monospaced_ fonts to C:\windows\fonts\ and they will show on
the list.
I myself like the ProggyFonts family.
