- So would I. I'm not happy with the fonts I found so far. There are lots
- of fonts listed by xlsfonts which don't work with emacs because they are
- proportionally spaced. My current favourite fixed width fonts are (in
- order of increasing size):
-
- "9x15bold"
- "10x20"
- "-adobe-courier-bold-r-normal--18-180-75-75-m-110-iso8859-1"
- "12x24"
- "lucidasanstypewriter-bold-24"
-
- Incidentally, it appears that the "lucidasanstypewriter-bold-24" font is
- bigger when I run OpenWindows 3 than when I run a plain X11R5 server.
- Shouldn't it be the case that fonts with the same name are the same font?

- Chris.
