This works for me on my OSX system to use this font: (set-face-font 'default "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-10") I assume you could substitute "DevaVu Sans Mono-<size>" instead. But as Stephen says, you need xemacs with xft support compiled in. -- Ray _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
