Help with font size in emacs?
I am triying to increase the font size for my emacs screen from the .emacs file and the verion that I am using is
GNU Emacs 21.4.1 in my .emacs file I have the following: ;; Text Options ;; ============ (setq-default fill-column 70) (setq-default fill-prefix " ") (set-default-font "8x13") but for the set-default-font I can't go higher than the 8x13. So any help would be very helpful I am used to using vim. Thanks, shadow5277 |
hi,
just designate the font you want in ~/.Xresources like this emacs.font: *fixed-bold-r-*-15-*-* or whatever font and size you like to use i'm sure you noticed different font sizes change the size of the window so something like emacs.geometry: 107x40 might help as well this stuff gets read in automagically when you log in but for testing use the command xrdb ~/.Xresources to implement changes to the file |
thanks
Thanks Foo_bar-foo,
Do you happen to know where all of the fonts are located so that I can choose a font that I might like better than the default one that I have. Thanks, shadow5277 |
Oh yeah I forgot to mention that on Fedora Core 4 the emacs commands that goes inside of the .Xresources has to look like this Emacs.font: *fixed-bold-r-*-15-*-*
Forgot to mention that after putting it in the exact way you had it had no effect I guess on FC4 it has to have the first letter in Caps to use it at load time of emacs. Thanks, Shadow5277 |
