When I start XEmacs, I get on the originating terminal this: initialized metrics ascent 12 descent 3 width 7 height 14 initialized font Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-12:weight=200 initialized metrics ascent 12 descent 3 width 7 height 14 initialized font monospace-12 initialized metrics ascent 12 descent 3 width 7 height 14 initialized font Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-12:slant=110 initialized metrics ascent 7 descent 3 width 5 height 11 initialized font -*-Adobe Garamond Pro-medium-r-*-*-*-90-*-*-*-*-*-* initialized metrics ascent 7 descent 3 width 5 height 11 initialized font -*-Adobe Garamond Pro-medium-r-*-*-*-90-*-*-*-*-*-* initialized metrics ascent 9 descent 3 width 6 height 11 initialized font -*-Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-medium-r-*-*-*-90-*-*-*-*-*-* initialized metrics ascent 9 descent 3 width 6 height 11 initialized font -*-Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-medium-r-*-*-*-90-*-*-*-*-*-* initialized metrics ascent 11 descent 3 width 7 height 13 initialized font -bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-i-*-*-*-80-100-100-*-*-iso8859-1 finalizing -*-Adobe Garamond Pro-medium-r-*-*-*-90-*-*-*-*-*-* finalizing -*-Adobe Garamond Pro-medium-r-*-*-*-90-*-*-*-*-*-* finalizing -*-Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-medium-r-*-*-*-90-*-*-*-*-*-* Where does "Adobe Garamond Pro" come from? I certainly don't set anything with a variable width in my init files or in my xrdb initialization file, and there's no string "Adobe Garamond Pro" in any XEmacs source file, and I don't have "Adobe Garamond Pro" set in my GNOME font settings, although I do have it installed (as a TrueType font) on my system. (Phew!) Can anyone explain or point me to an explanation? Thanks. --- Vladimir ================================================================ System Info ----------- uname -a: Linux scarlatti 2.6.17-gentoo-r4 #1 PREEMPT Sat Jul 22 15:13:47 PDT 2006 x86_64 AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology MT-32 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux ./configure '--with-optimization' '--with-xft=emacs' '--with-zlib' '--with-dlmalloc' '--with-pdump' '--with-kkcc' '--with-newgc' '--with-debug' '--with-error-checking=no' '--with-assertions' XEmacs 21.5-b27 "fiddleheads" (+CVS-20060804) configured for `x86_64-unknown-linux'.
