The normal way I do it is in my .emacs file: (set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "LMTypewriter10-18") But for whatever reason, this TeX font is just gone! I had reinstalled the "context" pacakge and ran the "fc-cache -fv" command, and can't get any apps to show this font at all. There are some other fonts with the same problem too. I use fontmatrix to preview my fonts and they don't appear there. This tells me that somehow the font server, xfstt, Defoma, or whatever is used to manage X fonts (I don't even know!) must have removed all the old settings from lenny, and it does not have these fonts added yet in squeeze ... and I don't know how to add them! > > Do I have to do something new to get the /usr/share/texmf/ fonts to go > > in X now? > > Since I would imagine X knows nothing about these directories (unless > you have them in an xorg.conf file for instance)..

But fontconfig doesn't know about it now! Doing "fc-list" gives me 1300+ fonts, including a lot of LM fonts (LMMonoLt10, LMMathItal8, etc), but not LMTypewriter-10! > Also I tried "xlsfonts" to see if it's there, and this is weird: > > $ xlsfonts | grep typewriter > ... > -unregistered-latin modern typewriter variable > width-dark-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 > -unregistered-latin modern typewriter variable > width-dark-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 > -unregistered-latin modern typewriter variable > width-dark-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15 > -unregistered-latin modern typewriter variable > width-dark-o-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-15 > Since he does not know about ‘LMTypewriter-10’, you could try the ‘emacs > -fn "-unregistered-latin modern typewriter variable width-*" syntax.. > see what happens. Same thing: $ emacs -fn '-unregistered-latin modern typewriter variable width-dark-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1' Font `-unregistered-latin modern typewriter variable width-dark-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1' is not defined $ Also, I looked at my shell history and had all kinds of fonts that I was able to load this way: 112210 emacs -fn 'LMTypewriterVarWd10-Regular' 112211 emacs -fn 'LMTypewriterVarWd10-Regular-10' 112212 emacs -fn 'LMTypewriterVarWd10-10' 112213 emacs -fn 'LMTypewriterVarWd10-36' 112214 emacs -fn 'ZurichExBT-36' 112215 emacs -fn 'ZurichExBTRegular-36' 112216 emacs -fn 'ZurichExtended-36' 112217 emacs -fn 'ZurichExtendedBT-36' 112218 emacs -fn 'Zurich Ex BT-36' None of these fonts are available on my system at all now!
