Hi, as a workaround, until someone comes up with a nice lisp solution, you can set the font for emacs in your ~/.Xresources (or whatever you call it). For example: $ cat >> .Xresources << EOF Emacs*font: Terminus 10 EOF $ xrdb -merge .Xresources At least it works for me (and my tiling wm). Regards, chressie
