You can also specify the font using your X resources file (usually a
file named @file{.Xdefaults} or @file{.Xresources} in your home
directory), by adding a line like this:
@smallexample
emacs.font: @var{font}
@end smallexample
@noindent
You must restart X, or use the @command{xrdb} command, for the X
resources file to take effect. @xref{Resources}. When specifying a
font in your X resources file, you should not quote it.
@cindex fontconfig
Emacs recognizes two types of fonts: @dfn{client-side} fonts, which
are provided by the Xft and Fontconfig libraries, and
@dfn{server-side} fonts, which are provided by the X server itself.
Most client-side fonts support advanced font features such as
antialiasing and subpixel hinting, while server-side fonts do not.
There are four different ways to express a ``font name''. The first
format consists of @dfn{Fontconfig patterns}. Fontconfig patterns
match only client-side fonts provided by Xft and Fontconfig, and have
the following form:
@smallexample
@var{fontname}[-@var{fontsize}][:@var{name1}=@var{values1}][:@var{name2}=@var{values2}]...
@end smallexample
@noindent
Within this format, any of the elements in braces may be omitted.
Here, @var{fontname} is the ``family name'' of the font, such as
@samp{Monospace} or @samp{DejaVu Serif}; @var{fontsize} is the ``point
size'' of the font (one ``printer's point'' is about 1/72 of an inch);
and the @samp{@var{name}=@var{values}} entries specify settings such
as the slant and weight of the font. Each @var{values} may be a
single value, or a list of values separated by commas. In addition,
some property values are valid with only one kind of property name, in
which case the @samp{@var{name}=} part may be omitted.
Here is a list of common font properties:
@table @samp
@item slant
One of @samp{italic}, @samp{oblique} or @samp{roman}.
@item weight
One of @samp{light}, @samp{medium}, @samp{demibold}, @samp{bold} or
@samp{black}.
@item style
Some fonts define special styles which are a combination of slant and
weight. For instance, the font @samp{Dejavu Sans} defines the style
@samp{book}. This property, if specified, overrides the slant and
weight properties.
@item width
One of @samp{condensed}, @samp{normal}, or @samp{expanded}.
@item spacing
One of @samp{monospace}, @samp{proportional}, @samp{dual-width}, or
@samp{charcell}.
@end table
@noindent
Here are some examples of Fontconfig patterns:
@smallexample
Monospace
Monospace-12
Monospace-12:bold
DejaVu Sans Mono:bold:italic
Monospace-12:weight=bold:slant=italic
@end smallexample
See the Fontconfig manual for a more detailed description of
Fontconfig patterns. This manual is located in the file
@file{fontconfig-user.html}, which is distributed with Fontconfig. It
is also available online at
@url{http://fontconfig.org/fontconfig-user.html}. In particular, the
manual describes additional font properties that influence how the
font is hinted, antialiased, or scaled.
The second way to specify a font is to use a @dfn{GTK font
description}. Like Fontconfig patterns, GTK font descriptions match
only client-side fonts provided by Xft and Fontconfig. They have the
syntax
@smallexample
@var{fontname} [@var{properties}] [@var{fontsize}]
@end smallexample
@noindent
where @var{fontname} is the family name, @var{properties} is a list of
property values separated by spaces, and @var{fontsize} is the point
size. The properties that you may specify are as follows:
@table @samp
@item style
One of @samp{roman}, @samp{italic} or @samp{oblique}. If omitted, the
@samp{roman} style is used.
@item weight
One of @samp{medium}, @samp{ultra-light}, @samp{light},
@samp{semi-bold}, or @samp{bold}. If omitted, @samp{medium} weight is
used.
@end table
@noindent
Here are some examples of GTK font descriptions:
@smallexample
Monospace 12
Monospace Bold Italic 12
@end smallexample
@cindex XLFD
@cindex X Logical Font Description
The third way to specify a font is to use an @dfn{XLFD} (@dfn{X
Logical Font Description}), which is the traditional method for
specifying fonts under X. Each XLFD consists of fourteen words or
numbers, separated by dashes, like this:
@smallexample
-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-*-*-*-c-60-iso8859-1
@end smallexample
@noindent
A wildcard character (@samp{*}) in an XLFD matches any sequence of
characters (including none), and @samp{?} matches any single
character. However, matching is implementation-dependent, and can be
inaccurate when wildcards match dashes in a long name. For reliable
results, supply all 14 dashes and use wildcards only within a field.
Case is insignificant in an XLFD. The syntax for an XLFD is as
follows:
@smallexample
-@var{maker}-@var{family}-@var{weight}-@var{slant}-@var{widthtype}-@var{style}@dots{}
@dots{}-@var{pixels}-@var{height}-@var{horiz}-@var{vert}-@var{spacing}-@var{width}-@var{registry}-@var{encoding}
@end smallexample
@noindent
The entries have the following meanings:
@table @var
@item maker
The name of the font manufacturer.
@item family
The name of the font family (e.g. @samp{courier}).
@item weight
The font weight---normally either @samp{bold}, @samp{medium} or
@samp{light}. Some font names support other values.
@item slant
The font slant---normally @samp{r} (roman), @samp{i} (italic),
@samp{o} (oblique), @samp{ri} (reverse italic), or @samp{ot} (other).
Some font names support other values.
@item widthtype
The font width---normally @samp{condensed}, @samp{extended},
@samp{semicondensed} or @samp{normal} (some font names support other
values).
@item style
An optional additional style name. Usually it is empty---most long
font names have two hyphens in a row at this point.
@item pixels
The font height, in pixels.
@item height
The font height on the screen, measured in tenths of a printer's
point. This is the point size of the font, times ten. For a given
vertical resolution, @var{height} and @var{pixels} are proportional;
therefore, it is common to specify just one of them and use @samp{*}
for the other.
@item horiz
The horizontal resolution, in pixels per inch, of the screen for which
the font is intended.
@item vert
The vertical resolution, in pixels per inch, of the screen for which
the font is intended. Normally the resolution of the fonts on your
system is the right value for your screen; therefore, you normally
specify @samp{*} for this and @var{horiz}.
@item spacing
This is @samp{m} (monospace), @samp{p} (proportional) or @samp{c}
(character cell).
@item width
The average character width, in pixels, multiplied by ten.
@item registry
@itemx encoding
The X font character set that the font depicts. (X font character
sets are not the same as Emacs character sets, but they are similar.)
You can use the @command{xfontsel} program to check which choices you
have. Normally you should use @samp{iso8859} for @var{registry} and
@samp{1} for @var{encoding}.
@end table
Some fonts have shorter nicknames, which you can use instead of a
normal font specification. For instance,
@smallexample
-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-*-*-*-c-60-iso8859-1
@end smallexample
@noindent
is equivalent to @samp{6x13}. This is the fourth and final method of
specifying a font.
@cindex listing system fonts
You will probably want to use a fixed-width default font---that is,
a font in which all characters have the same width. Here's how to use
the @command{fc-list} command to list all fixed-width Xft and
Fontconfig fonts available on your system:
@example
fc-list :spacing=mono
fc-list :spacing=charcell
@end example
For server-side X fonts, any font with @samp{m} or @samp{c} in the
@var{spacing} field of the XLFD is a fixed-width font. Here's how to
use the @command{xlsfonts} program to list all the fixed-width fonts
available on your system:
@example
xlsfonts -fn '*x*' | egrep "^[0-9]+x[0-9]+"
xlsfonts -fn '*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-m*'
xlsfonts -fn '*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-c*'
@end example
@noindent
To see what a particular font looks like, use the @command{xfd} command.
For example:
@example
xfd -fn 6x13
@end example
@noindent
displays the entire font @samp{6x13}.
While running Emacs, you can set the font of a specific kind of text
(@pxref{Faces}), or of a particular frame (@pxref{Frame Parameters}).
