Hi, I am using xmonad 0.8 and Gnu Emacs 23.0.60 with the xft font backend. I set the font height of the default face to 10pt in my .emacs but now when I open the application layout is messed up -- I've attached a screenshot. This doesn't happen under GNOME. I can force the screen tro be redrawn by cycling layouts, typing M-SPC until I get back to the original. In emacs, M-x redraw-display does nothing.
My personal experience with both emacs and xemacs is that programmatic font changes before the window is realized cause confusion. (And not just in xmonad; a font change in xemacs 22 caused xemacs to open at normal size and then incrementally resize itself down to a postage stamp, in KDE.) Suffice it to say that fonts and {,x}emacs don't really play all that well together. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
