How do I change emacs default font size and font type?

Question

I am using emacs 23.3. I need to change the font size and font type, can anyone help me?

Answer 1

I have the below setting in init.el:

(set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "Menlo" :height 160)

Note: If you have a preset for window size (width and height), the height attribute of the font is going to interfere with that layout.
