I haven't seen a font description like that in .Xresources before. To
my (admittedly limited) understanding, you need to use precisely the
"full name" listed by describe-font. But I don't have a font named like
that on my system. I have, for example,
-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-normal--
0-0-0-0-c-0-iso10646-1
Note the differences in capitalization, and the zeros where you have *
wildcards.
Adding this with xrdb -merge (along with your Emacs.FontBackend line)
gets me the following, as per describe-font:
name (opened by): -bitstream-bitstream vera sans
mono-medium-r-normal--17-0-96-96-c-0-iso10646-1
full name: -bitstream-bitstream vera sans
mono-medium-r-normal--17-128-96-96-c-103-iso10646-1
size: 10
height: 20
baseline-offset: 0
relative-compose: 0
It's not very pretty compared to the Courier medium I get out of the
box, without doing any customization:
name (opened by): -adobe-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
full name: -Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--17-120-100-100-M-100-ISO8859-1
size: 10
height: 15
baseline-offset: 0
relative-compose: 0
This is on Ubuntu 8.10 i386, nvidia binary driver version 177.
