Changing Font in Emacs
Hi Everyone,
Fonts are not my forte....!
I am trying to change the font in emacs (on Fedora 11) to something more visually pleasing. I have read the other forums and found out how to change the font
i.e. (set-default-font "owner-name-etc-etc....)"
however the one I am looking to have as default is not available in the list of fonts. I am trying to use adobe-courier (as it's what I'm used to). When I type:
locate courier
I get a whole load of entries in /usr/share/texmf/fonts/tmf/adobe/courier
which I assume are for latex/tetex etc.
When I type "xlsfonts" it shows that there are only 8 adobe fonts all based on "utopia".
How do I get the adobe-courier font? I have tried yum searching for "adobe" and "courier" but I can't find anything.
