- Try setting the following in your .Xresources or .Xdefaults:
-
- emacs*font: 8x13
-
- or
-
- emacs*font: 9x15
-
- or whatever strange DEC font name you use :-)

- Used to set emacs-path, emacs key bindings ... Kind of like .cshrc and
- .profile, but for your editor. Many people put a lot of Elisp code here.
-
- Good luck.
