You should use -1 here. Yes, you are right but this is my global default for all X applications in ~/.Xresources. Maybe I should add a special "Emacs.Font: [...]" line in ~/.Xresources. > ,----[ (info "(emacs)Font X") ] > | CHARSET > | This is the character set that the font depicts.

I have always used -*-*-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15 because it was the default on my system but somehow I never see /italic/ characters in my Emacs when using this font. My color theme always prints /italic/ text with a bold face. I really think I should have to change this soon... :-) Regards, Marcus -- "Intentions not up front and the shit that never faced reflects the sliver of God's face and looped a flaw rotates forever unresolved.
