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. It seems that emacs opens with the larger default font then resizes it, so I thought if I could set font height in ~/.Xresources it might be in effect before emacs starts, but putting this in my .Xresources has no effect: Emacs.default.attributeHeight:100 I suppose the answer will probably be in emacs not xmonad, so I hope you don't think it's OT. I've asked on a few emacs lists and can't solve it...thanks. Jim
