The solution is to set up emacs font in .Xresources, not in ~/.emacs Thanks for your reply. This method worked just fine in earlier versions of Emacs 23, but since a few months ago, it doesn't seem to work anymore. Setting the font in ~/.emacs doesn't work either, so I'm kind of lost for ideas. Works for me, though I use .Xdefaults rather than .Xresources, and (probably critically) I have "xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults" executed during X session startup.

Even when merging .Xdefaults it doesn't work. Are you by any chance using emacsclient? Because this only seems to happen with the first frame opened with normal Emacs. Any additional frames in the same Emacs instances behave correctly.

This works for me, worth a try (I think the key is the window-setup-hook, the documentation of which says not to touch, but oh well... :]): (setq zsol-default-font "-xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--12-120-72-72-c-60-iso10646-1") (add-hook 'window-setup-hook 'set-font-and-color) (add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions (lambda (frame) (select-frame frame) (set-font-and-color))) (defun set-font-and-color () (if window-system (progn (color-theme-arjen) (set-face-font 'default zsol-default-font)) (color-theme-tty-dark))) Zsolt P.s.: Sorry if it gets through twice, my MUA went crazy..
