Sounds like your desktop resolution is too low. Or emacs is trying to use a huge font. After setting your resolution to more reasonable size you can control emacs size, color, shape, font etc with lisp code. If you want to delve into lisp I can copy paste some old code I've used from time to time but I'm not a lisp programmer at all. For that approach you will want to post on gnu.emacs.help newsgroup. You can also control emacs with a ~/.Xresources file. Thats how I like to do it. This will give you some ideas about how that might be done: (from ~/.Xresources) emacs*Background: black emacs*Foreground: papayawhip emacs*pointerColor: white emacs*cursorColor: magenta emacs*bitmapIcon: on emacs*font: -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso8859-1 emacs.geometry: 100x38 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
