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.

The problem I have is with emacs frames that turn on toolbar-mode. Mostly I don't use it, but for one frame (the one I use for gnus) I do.  When the toolbar appears, it is as though the frame sticks out below the screen until I switch workspaces, then stuff seems to get resized correctly.  (Probably it would be easiest just to turn off toolbar-mode entirely, of course.)

I turn off pretty much everything in ~/.emacs (scrollbars, toolbar, menubar, fringes). -- Deniz Dogan PS. Sorry for replying directly to you, Bruce.
