Long ago, I was a RedHat user. When I moved to Debian, I kept a copy of a file, .Xresources, that made Emacs display under X in a way that I liked. Now in trying to use Etch, I discover that the file doesn't work quite the way I want under xserver-xorg. I want to tweek it, but can't find docs that address my questions in a way that I recognize. I think my main issue is with the line:
emacs*font: fixed This is used in a lot of X config files that are published on the web, but I can't find any information about what its actually intended to do. For me, it changes the size of the font that is used to display the text being editted. Without this line the size is bigish, with this line it is smaller by two or three points. In Etch, with this line, the text is also in condensed type, that is the letters are scrunched together so as to fit more letters in a given space. So, there appear to be default font selections set up somewhere and this line switches among them. Where are these defaults set up? In both xorg and in xfree? Where can I find an explanation of the value 'fixed' in this context? What other values are accepted in this line? What do the other values do? Etc.? -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
