At least, partially ... With a new GNU Emacs CVS, Fri, 2008 Jun 20 21:44 UTC GNU Emacs 23.0.60.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9) built with `make', I am able to start an instance of Emacs with: emacs -q -fn '-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-*-*-*-c-100-iso8859-1' But interestingly, a second and third X frame, created with `emacsclient -c' and with `make-frame-command' (C-x 5 2), has a smaller font. In both the new instances, `what-cursor-position' with a prefix (C-u C-x =) reports -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso10646-1 (#x6F) Oh, another problem. I started yet another instance of Emacs with emacs -q -fn '-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-*-*-*-c-100-iso8859-1' and `what-cursor-position' with a prefix (C-u C-x =) reports -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--20-140-100-100-p-100-iso8859-1 (#x73) instead of the -misc-fixed. Moreover, I am seeing empty boxes in the splash buffer at the end of the line that says To quit a partially entered command, type However, when I copy that line to this instance, which is earlier and actually has '-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-*-*-*-c-100-iso8859-1', I see the word as `Control-g'. In the new instance, the frame created by `make-frame-command' (C-x 5 2) has the same -adobe-helvetica font as the first frame, but when I create a third frame with `emacsclient -c' (after evaluating `(server-start)' in my `*scratch*' buffer) , the new frame has a -misc-fixed font! -- Robert J.
