Thanks. Unfortunately, -batch apparently does something so that
(face-font-name 'default)
yields nil.
Yeah, that sounds right. face-font-name will instantiate the
specifier, and if you're in batch, you'll get nothing. face-font
returns the whole specifier, which will be printed out.
FWIW, I think his XEmacs is configured for bitmap fonts.
OK, then he'll have to use X11 XLFDs.
And I don't understand why he's not able to see text, unless
it has
something to do with falling back to Courier when Courier isn't
available.
That may be it, but I would think that would produce an error if no
font can be instantiated.
