Greetings, I am in desperate need of help. I just installed emacs 18.55 on my machines and I cannot figure out how to set the default font for x-windows terminals. It comes up with a really itty-bitty font by default which is impossible for the old folks who use my machine to read. I did a quick kludge by putting (x-set-font "9x15") as the first line of /usr/local/emacs/term/x-win.el, but this is very un-good, since it zaps your .emacs attempt to change it and you can't change it on them command line with the "-font" switch. How do I change the default? For that matter, where are the fonts? I am on an IBM RT, so I don't have a /usr/new/lib/X/font directory, and my /usr/lpp/X11fonts directory has nothing with .onx in it. What are my available fonts? Many thanks in advance. pr -- Pete Resnick (...so what is a mojo, and why would one be rising?)
