I have found a solution.  If I give PTKDB_CODE_FONT env variable a full
font name, instead of just "9x12", it happily agrees to do my bidding.
Don't know why it works this way, but it does.  I'd have to dive into the
code to find out, I'm sure.

So, here's what I did,

setenv PTKDB_CODE_FONT 
"-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1"

This is not equivalent to 9x15, but that's okay, because it looks just fine. 

Thanks,
deb
