Doubtless, it depends on the quality and type of your display. For example, 'help-argument-name' does fine with the following fonts, as listed in x-fixed-font-alist in ...emacs/lisp/mouse.el ("6x12" "-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--12-*-*-*-c-60-iso8859-1" "6x12") ("6x13" "-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-*-*-*-c-60-iso8859-1" "6x13") but not in: ("7x13" "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-*-*-*-c-70-iso8859-1" "7x13") ("7x14" "-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-c-70-iso8859-1" "7x14") To duplicate, emacs -Q -D evaluate (describe-function 'describe-function) then use (i.e., mouse-set-font) and select the fonts from the `Misc' menu. Also, the face for 'help-argument-name' is readable in Courier 14, Courier 18, Courier 24, as well as Courier Slant 14, Courier Slant 18, and Courier Slant 24 which are listed in x-fixed-font-alist in ...emacs/lisp/mouse.el as: ("14" "-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--*-140-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1") ("18" "-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--*-180-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1") ("24" "-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--*-240-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1") ("14 slant" "-adobe-courier-medium-o-normal--*-140-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1") ("18 slant" "-adobe-courier-medium-o-normal--*-180-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1") ("24 slant" "-adobe-courier-medium-o-normal--*-240-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1") Today's GNU Emacs CVS snapshot, Wed, 2008 Jun 11 09:48 UTC GNU Emacs 23.0.60.22 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9) -- Robert J.
