Thanks, Eli. For a number of years I have thought that changing the font
applied to all buffers. Was this ever true since ver. 20 or 21?
Anyway, your suggestion is certainly the right one to accomplish what I
want, as long as I can set it up in .emacs.
Now I have:
"
buffer-face-mode-face is a variable defined in `face-remap.el'.
Its value is (:family "Courier New" :height 110)
Original value was variable-pitch
Local in buffer *Calendar*; global value is variable-pitch
"
I think the problem with mm height and width is due to Emacs assuming 72
ppi (display-pixels-per-inch) rather than the true value of 120 ppi.
(x-)display-pixel-height and -width return the correct values of 900 and
1440 respectively.
Btw, are there other buffers besides calendar that need monospace to
display correctly? I use proportional font even in .emacs merely for
aesthetic reasons.
Thanks,
Ed
