Hello,
I set up an emacs --daemon in order to startup emacs faster. I like especially the GUI version of emacs, so I do emacsclient -c to open a new emacs frame.
The problem is that I have changed my fonts, but these fonts aren't loaded if I start emacsclient -c. However, they are applied if I start just emacs (but this causes the whole .emacs to be evaluated).
So: Is there a way of applying my font settings also if I start emacs with emacsclient -c?
If you're using Emacs 23.2 changing the monospaced font in GNOME will change the Emacs font as well. In earlier edition you'll have to do this:
echo "Emacs.font: Monospace-10" >> ~/.Xresources
xrdb
Replace Monospace-10 with the actual font you want to use.
In short, you have to use default-frame-alist for that. Like this:
(setq default-frame-alist '((font . "Inconsolata-dz-15")))
That will evaluated every time you start a new, graphical frame in Emacs. This is also where you save other frame-related settings, like settings for your fringe and such.
