Just noticed that Beta 2 has changed the font size of an emacs running locally (from macports - GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.5.0, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2008-10-23 on snow.hillside.co.uk). The font of the main display area has 'got bigger'. It's also made remote python apps - like serviceconf on CentOs go to a bigger (and more acceptable) font size. Proved this by reverting to Beta-1 BTW. I have: *font: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-12-120-75-75-m-70- iso10646-1 in my Xresources. Emacs seems to be choosing: -b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-14-100-100-100-m-80- iso10646-1 as its standard font. I presume that this is a side effect of changing the basic resolution of the server - and emacs being to clever for it's own good. Anyone got hints about how I convince emacs to use the font I want to use? I can select the font 'by hand'. Regards _____________________________________________ Peter Collinson
