org-column face

org-column face

[sergio]

Hello.

Why org-column has a different font, than default?
It's event not monospace! (DejaVu Sans in my case (foncofig's default))

OK. I want to set org-column font to same as default font.
How should I do this?

(set-face-font 'org-column (face-font 'default))
Doesn't work, is says: error: Invalid face, org-column

OK, but
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda ()
       (set-face-font 'org-column (face-font 'default))))
also doesn't work, without any error.

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda ()
        (set-face-font 'org-column "terminus-10")))
works, but I don't want to write terminus-10 twice in my config.

I just realized (thank to Nick, who answered personally to me), that if
I write:
(set-face-font 'default "terminus-10")
org-column uses this font, but I want to define default font so:
(setq default-frame-alist '(
...
	(font . "terminus-10")
...
))

Thank you for this hint. Changing my setup from set-frame-font to
default-frame-alist now helps me to get the desired font for
org-culumn-face for the case when I open a file /tmp/test.org manually
after

emacs -q -l /tmp/font.el

But when I open the file with

emacs -q -l /tmp/font.el /tmp/test.org

then the original default font is still in effect for org-column-face
unexpectedly. The only difference in "C-u C-x =" is the <size> in the
line

xft:-unknown-DejaVu Sans
Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-<size>-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 (#x03)

The above comparison was GNU Emacs 23.1.1 with both original
org-version 6.21b or both my current Org release_7.7-537-g7e31.dirty
and a minimal /tmp/font.el:

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "DejaVu Sans Mono-12"))
;; optionally comment this out
(add-to-list 'load-path "/f/git/org-mode/lisp/")
(require 'org-install)

What I don't understand too: When I append (require 'org) to (require
'org-install) then also "emacs -q -l /tmp/font.el" does not work any
more again.

What is the right way for the setup to get all this working?

The default face for the column view is DeJa Sans Mono for me,
working fine.

Are things okay by just setting the face with 

  M-x customize-face RET org-column RET

then picking up the font family of your choice?

Hi Bastien

Setting org-column-face did not solve my issues (and in my opinion
should be avoided if possible) but helped me to find out that the
problem is either set-frame-font too late in my large setup or the use
of default-frame-alist even when at the first place. This minimal
setup works for all use cases mentioned earlier:

(set-frame-font "DejaVu Sans Mono-12")
(add-to-list 'load-path "/f/git/org-mode/lisp/")
(require 'org-install)
(require 'org)

Now I am a bit confused why the above works but not

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "DejaVu Sans Mono-12"))
(add-to-list 'load-path "/f/git/org-mode/lisp/")
(require 'org-install)
(require 'org)

because the Emacs info manual mentions default-frame-alist but not
set-frame-font.

What about (add-to-list 'initial-frame-alist '(font . "DejaVu Sans Mono-12"))

?

`initial-frame-alist' is for the first frame, `default-frame-alist' for
the ones that are created later one.  Just a guess.

HTH,

None of the *-frame-alist that I tested changes the font for all use cases:
- default-frame-alist
- initial-frame-alist
- frame-initial-frame-alist
- window-system-default-frame-alist

But set-frame-font works when early enough in my setup and is sufficient for me.
