With Emacs started (client-daemon), I just started a New Frame, but now have a different font displayed, an unreadable cursive font. Long ago I selected Terminus from menu's Set Default Font..., then saved with menu's Save Options -- and in my init.el I see
(custom-set-variables . . .
'(default ((t (:family "Terminus" :foundry "xos4" :slant normal :weight normal :height 105 :width normal)))))
This has been fine for a long time. I know of nothing I've done to change or mess with fonts. I can correct the problem by repeating the menu choices I mentioned above, but a restart throws me back into the wrong font. What could this be?
emacs -q
and nothing else but the code mentioned in your question and launching Emacs client-daemon? If it works withemacs -q
, then it would probably be easier for you to recursively bisect your user-configuration than for us to do it for you. :) If it happens withemacs -q
, then please provide the Emacs version, and operating system and any other helpful details for us to replicate the issue. – lawlist Aug 1 '17 at 21:38emacs -q
; it uses my Gnome/Ubuntu 17.04 system font, Then when I move my.emacs.d
out of sight and start emacs, it again takes my system font. But when I change fonts through the menu, kill emacs, and start it again -- same problem with the odd-ball cursive font. I look at my.emacs
(.emacs.d
is empty), it has my chosen (Inconsolata) font. Will try in different window manager. Thenemacs --debug-init
starts with no errors, but still the odd cursive font. – 147pm Aug 2 '17 at 2:44emacs --debug-init
and regular icon click. I'm on Emacs 25.2.1 Gnome Metacity (Classic). – 147pm Aug 2 '17 at 2:55
