From: Jed Brown <jed <at> 59A2.org> To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org Subject: 23.1.91; Incorrect font sizes and weights Date: Mon, 18 Jan 2010 19:53:26 +0100
I want Emacs to use the font that I get with $ urxvt -fn 'xft:DejaVu Sans Mono-10' (or when this font name is given to any other program). So the obvious thing to try would be $ emacs -Q -fn 'DejaVu Sans Mono-10' but this resolves to xft:-unknown-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-17-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 which is way bigger than I want. Next, I try manually specifying the font that 'DejaVu Sans Mono-10.2' resolved to in my last emacs build GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.16.5) of 2009-10-08 on home.sergej.pp.ru (I have no idea why this goofyness was required, but 'DejaVu Sans Mono-10' looked bad there.) $ emacs -Q -fn '-unknown-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-14-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1' And this font seems to be the correct size, but the weight is too light. Compare the bottom two frames in the screenshot http://imgur.com/TcGj6.png The bottom-left frame is the rendering I want (using the 23.1.50.1 build quoted above with 'DejaVu Sans Mono-10.2'). The bottom-right frame is the latest build with what claims to be the desired font, and the top frame is the latest build with 'DejaVu Sans Mono-10'. Why is it so hard to choose my desired font?
