(Well the set of fonts is different, but everything I looked at is greyed out.) The screen shot looks pretty nice so it seems as if xft fonts are being used.

I get something similar, except DejaVu Sans Mono is not selected (and actually not listed). After loading my init fils, the buttons are selected. But my xresources are not empty. The only font related thing I have is: XEmacs*menubar.fcFontName: Bitstream Vera Sans-10 Ray _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
