Thanks but this did not work out for me completely. For reasons I don't
understand only the geometry part of the .Xdefaults was used while the
fonts were replaced by *fixed*, however I could change to the DejaVu
fonst you use, by 

Options-->font-->DejaVu

*however* when I select purisa, then again xemacs uses fixed instead of
purisa. 

Purisa _is_ installed, even it is shown by xfontsel.

Can you please try to use Purisa and tell me the result?


BTW what shall I do with the ttf fonts, which are installed but not
displayed by xfontsel????


Thanks
