The "Fonts" node in the Emacs manual starts with: -------- By default, Emacs displays text in X using a 12-point monospace font. There are several different ways to specify a different font: @itemize @item Click on @samp{Set Default Font} in the @samp{Options} menu. To save this for future sessions, click on @samp{Save Options} in the @samp{Options} menu. -------- So I think this is well documented. And `menu-set-font' doesn't save, according to the manual and my skimming the code, so I don't think this is a bug. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/
