View: Complete Thread (2 articles) Original Format Newsgroups: gnu.emacs.help Date: 2002-08-19 16:50:33 PST Hi, problem with emacs-21.2: I like to use the "vga" font on X11, which works fine on previous versions of emacs. This font is made of pretty thick lines. Emacs-21.2 seems to automatically thin these lines. It takes the geometry of the "vga" font just fine, but not the layout of the characters. It seems to me that this is an emacs-21.2 feature I don't want but I can't figure out how to turn it off. I put screenshots here: what I want: http://www.cons.org/tmp/l1.gif what I get: http://www.cons.org/tmp/l2.gif Please note that I am sure the actual loading of the font succeeded. emacs-21.2 changed th size of the font (and hence the window) just fine 88c and it arrives at the new font geometry as specified in the "vga" font, switching away fromt he previously loaded font. But the new f 885 ont is thinned. L 5b4 isp is code is simply (set-frame-font "vga") Let me guess: I need to define a fontset and load the supposely thick font into the slot of the normal one? Thanks Martin
