The fonts used in the screen snapshots are:
emacs*font: fixed
Emacs.default.attributeFont: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--0-0-75-75-c-0-iso8859-1
Emacs.bold.attributeFont: -misc-fixed-bold-r-semicondensed--0-0-75-75-c-0-iso8859-1
Emacs.italic.attributeFont: -schumacher-clean-medium-i-normal--12-120-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
Emacs.bold-italic.attributeFont: -adobe-courier-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1
This is something of a hack since one or both of the italic fonts is
slightly smaller than the other fonts. XEmacs doesn't have a problem
with this, but GNU Emacs chokes and spits up an warning message,
though it will still run.
I prefer reducing the default starting font size of XEmacs so that I
can fit two XEmacs frames side-by-side without overlapping.
