[gnu.emacs.help] emacs font

    due to claustrophobia my terminal is 1.5m from me :-) viz. emacs font is
    too small. Using Openlook how do I change the default font as picked up by
    emacs.

I think you want to set the following into your ~/.emacs:

    (x-set-font "-adobe-courier-medium-r-*-*-12-*")

Last I looked, EMACS did not look into an EMACS*xxxx resource for information
(boo!).

Hope this helps.  Good luck.

    Funny, it works for me.  Here is what I use for emacs and epoch:

It works for me too.  Next time, I'll look immediately before I post.  Please
pass the ketchup, I have some bytes to eat.
