Re: [h-e-w] Q Making the font selection permanent

[Paul Whitfield]

Hi Neil,

You should checkout the "font" section of the ntfaq.

There are basically two ways:

One) add registry settings

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gnu\Emacs\Emacs.font="-*-ProggyClean-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1"


Two) a setting in your .emacs.el

eg:
(setq default-font "-raster-ProggyClean-*-*-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1")



The advantage of ONE is that you can keep the same .emacs.el even
if the font is not installed (i.e. different screen resolution or
OS).

Yes... it is a nice font! :-)
