I recently declared.emacs bankrupcy and reorganized my init stuff. In the process, I ripped out all the hacky font selection stuff I had accrued over the years, figuring there are probably easier ways to accomplish what I want in the most modern version of emacs.
GNU Emacs 23.0.91.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.14.4)
on a GNU/Linux System (Ubuntu 8.10).
Let's ignore, for the moment, the fact that I also run emacs under Mac OS X (GUI+Terminal) and occasionally on Windows and just focus on the X11 case:
(Background: The font 6x13 has been part of X11 for as long as I can remember. (aka misc-fixed semi-condensed...). It's a bitmap font.)
What's the canonical way to do to make this happen?
And before some smart-aleck tells me about menu: Options>>Set Default Font: the resulting dialog box doesn't even offer bitmap fonts, so there's no way to choose 6x13. Furthermore, it doesn't solve the problem with org-mode: table-views still come up with the wrong font.
I control this stuff from my .Xresources
file.
Personally I have
emacs.reverseVideo: true
emacs.font: 7x13bold
(And I quite agree... long live the bitmap fonts! I'll take my xterm
with
XTerm*foreground: green
XTerm*background: black
XTerm*font: 7x13bold
... over the Gnome terminal any day).
If you're playing with .Xresources
from within a session, xrdb
command is useful to reload them.
You want to set the default frame parameters in your.emacs.
default-frame-alist
.The easiest way, actually, is to use customize and customize default-frame-alist, but can also use elisp and write
(setq default-frame-alist
'(font . "-*-*-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-hiramin_w6"))
That's stolen from my emacs, you'll need to find the full font name (xfontsel?) for the font you want.
See also the EmacsWiki on setting fonts and faces.
For anyone reading this with a recent Linux distribution you will have to install 6x13 first (yes, sounds obvious..). There are instructions here for Ubuntu/Debian which should work on other distros too if you skip the apt-getting of random fonts. Install the "FixedSC".tgz from there (it unpacks to /usr/local/share/fonts) then follow the instructions to add it to the font cache so it will appear in the Gnome Font selection dialog.
