If I start emacs using `emacs -Q', and then execute (set-face-attribute 'mode-line nil :font "8x13") The font is rendered wrongly: . Note that the buffer id appears differently because it follows the `mode-line-buffer- id' face, if I set that to use 8x13 too that is rendered wrongly as well. Weirdly, if I set "8x13" to be the default font, it renders fine (both in the buffer and in the mode line): . Am I doing something wrong? I'm running `GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-pc-linux- gnu, GTK+ Version 3.8.4) of 2013-09-27 on trouble, modified by Debian' (`emacs24' on Debian testing). Francesco
