Great news, I have hope.
I have read the thorougly read this thread and I have many questions
(and still no antialiased fonts !).
I wish to use Bitstream Vera Sans Mono for the antialised font. I am
pretty sure it is an TrueType font that can be antialiased because every
file related to "bitstream" is in a ttf folder.
* How to be sure a font is TrueType or bitmap? Can xfontsel of xslfont
tell if a font is TrueType or Bitmap or else?
I assume that if Gnome displays antialiased fonts then my X supports it.
(because gtk uses XFT).
* Am I right with that?
With your advice, I have set the following font in .emacs (my .emacs is
minimal, it only contains the following two lines):
(defvar veramono "-bitstream-bitstream vera sans
mono-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1")
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist (cons 'font veramono))
And actually, the font looks like my default system font, except that it
is not antialiased (and ugly on a lcd screen).
* What did I miss ?
I tried "M-x apropos: fonts" but tons of entries and several are
functions unavailable on my system. (I tried M-x then "x-" and then TAB
but there only x-set-selection while "M-x apropos: fonts" says there are
lots of functions beginning with x-font-*)
* How can I change fonts on the fly with emacs?
Or invoke C-h H and then check with C-u C-x = the
glyphs.
If I type C-h H C-u C-x =, then I do get "Hello" in several langage and
informations on the font used where the point is.
None of those are anti aliased.
* What do you mean by check the glyphs? What does it teaches me?
