It's C-u 40 M-x praise-be-unto-xemacs (after you have let custom.el do its ``hopeless, tasteless, face f***age'') :-) I used proportional fonts for a time with exmh, and never got comfortable with the fact that it was difficult to tell what the message would look like on a fixed width font. What I'd like to see is only the *Article* buffer displayed in a proportional font, but have message mode and everything else come up in a (boring) fixed width font. Can you do something like that? -- steve@miranova.com baur Unsolicited commercial e-mail will be proofread for $250/hour.
