I'm basically stuck with this version, because it's the one that's offered by the package manager I use (MacPorts). This version of Emacs, if running under X11, has the menu Options > Set Font/Fontset.... When I select it I get 3 more options: Misc, Courier, and Fontset. So I pick Courier, and from the choices I then get I pick 18 bold. Then I must re-adjust the size of the window to fit my screen. The annoyance is that I have to go through this song-and-dance for *every* Emacs session. Is there a way to make this font selection (and window size) stick for good? TIA! kynn
