This is really not Debian-specific. But this is the *best* place to get answers.
I just got a new 17" monitor and am trying to use it at 1600x1200. Okay, so things get small. So I though I'd use bigger fonts and still benefit from higher resolution. I like the smaller window manger icons and buttons, but I need slightly bigger fonts in rxvt and Emacs. I'm using `misc 9x15' in Emacs and anything more is ugly (it jumps to 10x20 with nothing in between). These are `misc' fonts from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/. So, I downloaded XFree-3.3's 100 dpi fonts. rxvt --font lucidasanstypewriter-14 & This looks better, I guess (same width, but taller font). But Emacs doesn't seem to know about these fonts, offering only `misc' and `courrier'. Has anyone ever had to do anything like this? What's available? In /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/, I now have: 100dpi 75dpi PEX misc I noticed that, for example, courR14.pcf.gz is in both 75dpi and 100dpi. Which gets used? Nothing changes if I remove the 75dpi directory from XF86Config's font path. I'd appreciate pointers if anyone has any to offer. -- Peter Galbraith, research scientist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maurice-Lamontagne Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada P.O.
