问题
I recently declared .emacs bankrupcy and reorganized my init stuff. In the process, I ripped out all the hacky font selection stuff I had accrued over the years, figuring there are probably easier ways to accomplish what I want in the most modern version of emacs.
GNU Emacs 23.0.91.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.14.4)
on a GNU/Linux System (Ubuntu 8.10).
Let's ignore, for the moment, the fact that I also run emacs under Mac OS X (GUI+Terminal) and occasionally on Windows and just focus on the X11 case:
(Background: The font 6x13 has been part of X11 for as long as I can remember. (a.k.a misc-fixed semi-condensed ...). It's a bitmap font.)
- I want emacs to always use the X11 bitmap font 6x13. (This gives me two buffers next to eachother on my netbook.)
- I don't want to see DejaVu Sans Mono 16pt or whatever the heck comes up by default on my netbook (it's huge!)
- I want every new frame and window to use this font.
- I want derived faces (like org-mode-column) to use 6x13 font and not mysteriously switch back to DejaVu Sans Mono
- I don't care what GNOME and X11 think the logical DPI of my screen is. I want 6x13.
- When I remote into my netbook (NX Machine) I don't want to see 6x10. I want 6x13.
- In case there's any doubt: I want 6x13.
What's the canonical way to do to make this happen?
And before some smart-aleck tells me about menu: Options>>Set Default Font: the resulting dialog box doesn't even offer bitmap fonts, so there's no way to choose 6x13. Furthermore, it doesn't solve the problem with org-mode: table-views still come up with the wrong font.
回答1:
I control this stuff from my .Xresources file.
Personally I have
emacs.reverseVideo: true
emacs.font: 7x13bold
(And I quite agree... long live the bitmap fonts! I'll take my xterm with
XTerm*foreground: green
XTerm*background: black
XTerm*font: 7x13bold
... over the Gnome terminal any day).
If you're playing with .Xresources from within a session, xrdb command is useful to reload them.
回答2:
You want to set the default frame parameters in your .emacs.
- find out the name of the font you want to use
- add the needed value to the
default-frame-alist.
The easiest way, actually, is to use customize and customize default-frame-alist, but can also use elisp and write
(setq default-frame-alist
'(font . "-*-*-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-hiramin_w6"))
That's stolen from my emacs, you'll need to find the full font name (xfontsel?) for the font you want.
See also the EmacsWiki on setting fonts and faces.
回答3:
For anyone reading this with a recent Linux distribution you will have to install 6x13 first (yes, sounds obvious..). There are instructions here for Ubuntu/Debian which should work on other distros too if you skip the apt-getting of random fonts. Install the "FixedSC" .tgz from there (it unpacks to /usr/local/share/fonts) then follow the instructions to add it to the font cache so it will appear in the Gnome Font selection dialog.
