It will show you the available fonts. There are many 9pt fonts available on my system. After selecting one you like, click on "Save Options", and your choice will be used by default in future sessions. See the "Fonts" section of the emacs manual for much more information.Done that many times, but don't find any usable fixed fonts. The declarations in my earlier email are ones as exampled in the "Fonts" section of the emacs manual that have worked in the past but don't seem to now. Can't see any thing that shows up wrong in /usr/share/fonts.
Maybe you should try reinstalling your font packages. Or run 'fc-cache -fsv'.
Save Options says changes to .emacs are saved but the file doesn't change even though the file is rwxrwxrwx.
If you change an option (by selecting a new default font, for instance) and click Save Options, the customization section of your .emacs should get rewritten. Are you saying this doesn't happen?
You haven't said which emacs executable you're running, but I assume it's emacs-X11.exe. Is that right? If instead you're running emacs-w32.exe, that might explain the font problem.
