[Xquartz-dev] Beta 2

[Peter Collinson]

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
