Set scalable-fonts-allowed non-nil, and you will see a more interesting result. In general, you've picked a wrong platform to learn about this, because the Emacs font system comes from X, and the MS-Windows port tries to pretend it behaves the same (so that users could have the same font customizations in their .emacs as on X), but really doesn't and cannot. Unfortunately, the Windows-specific aspects of the fonts support are completely undocumented in the manuals; volunteers are welcome. I'm not sure I understand this issue enough myself, but see, for example, mouse-set-font on w32-win.el and w32-fixed-font-alist on w32-vars.el, for some revealing details and optional variables. > When I try (x-list-fonts "*") I get a list of fonts, but it is > completely different from the list I get via Shift mouse-1.

AFAIK, S-mouse-1 shows the native Windows font names (unless you set w32-use-w32-font-dialog to nil), while the other methods show X-style font names. But I might be mistaken. _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
