font selection for applications like emacs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Long ago as a UNIX user I learned how to select fonts for applications such as emacs by use of my .Xdefaults file and the xrdb utility. Now that I'm operating under LINUX (Fedora core 2) and GNOME, I find that something in the system capriciously re-sets my defaults while I'm working. In particular, emacs often comes up with the wrong font, at which point I have to exit emacs, re-run xrdb, and get back into emacs. I don't know if it's something in GNOME or elsewhere that corrupts my xrdb settings. I'd appreciate pointers on how to fix (or where to find info on how to fix) this behavior.

Thanks,  Pierre
