Thanks again Pete. I appreciate your help, and will try one more
question. To summarize, I can control what fonts emacs wants to use,
and I can check to see which fonts are on the system. By googling the
terms you mention, I can learn more about how to do this. This is a
great help, thanks very much.
If I wish to take the approach of obtaining the fonts that emacs seems
to want but can not find, where would I go for that?
Again, I sure appreciate your help....
