 |
|
kind of a tard question because I'm sure I'm overlooking something real easy but I can't figure out what. I searched and can't find anything useful - how/what do I have to do to tell emacs I have a pile of fonts installed? right now "m-x list-fontsets" lists a couple basics and that's it. xlsfonts shows a ton (as do other apps) so they're there.
I've tried with and w/o my ~/.emacs, ~/.Xdefaults, ~/.Xresources, I just can get it to find/use anything but these:
| Code: | Fontset: -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-default
Fontset: -*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-standard
Fontset: -monotype-Courier New-normal-normal-normal-*-14-*-*-*-m-0-fontset-startup |
not sure what helpful info to include besides these:
xorg.log:
| Code: | [ 54.752] (**) FontPath set to:
/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled,
/usr/share/fonts/TTF,
/usr/share/fonts/corefonts,
/usr/share/fonts/freefonts,
/usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera,
/usr/share/fonts/dejavu,
/usr/share/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
/usr/share/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,
/usr/share/fonts/mine_misc,
/usr/share/fonts/mine_xp-ttf,
/usr/share/fonts/urw-fonts,
/usr/share/fonts/misc/,
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/,
/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/,
/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/ |

As far as I know, there's indeed no "nice" GUI command that would allow to select an Xft font from a list of fonts. You can set the default font in ~/.Xresources: | Code: | | Emacs.font: DejaVu Sans Mono-12 |
or in your ~/.emacs file: | Code: | | (set-default-font "DejaVu Sans Mono-12") |
The latter command can also be used interactively (M-x set-default-font RET). Auto-completion won't work, though.
You can find some more detailed information in the Gentoo Wiki, http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Xft_support_for_GNU_Emacs, or in the Emacs Wiki, http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/XftGnuEmacs. |
