Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: emacs22
don't understand emacs that well so hesitate to describe this as a bug,
but:
By default, emacs displays a very large font when run under X.
I have followed various guides trying to get emacs to display a smaller font by
default. In particular, I have the following in .Xresources:
$ cat .Xresources
Emacs.FontBackend: xft
Emacs.font: Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-10
when i choose "set default font" from the Options menu, I am shown a font menu
that indicates that Bitstream Vera Sans Mono 10 is in fact my default font --
but the font on display is much larger, and changing the default doesn't seem
to have any effect. Meanwhile, M-x describe-font gives:
name (opened by): -bitstream-Bitstream Vera Sans
Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-20-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1
full name: -bitstream-Bitstream Vera Sans
Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-20-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1
size: 20
height: 24
baseline-offset: 0
relative-compose: 0
can someone please tell me what i have to do next? thanks, matt
