How do i change it. Try setting the following in your .Xresources or .Xdefaults: emacs*font: 8x13 or emacs*font: 9x15 or whatever strange DEC font name you use :-) > Also What is the purpose of .emacs file 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. Nat
