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.
