I installed the monaco fonts from the AUR in archlinux, and set emacs's fonts to monaco, but it doesn't load the monaco fonts when emacs starts, I have to set the font to monaco manually when starting emacs, can anyone one give me some hint of what to do?
This is part of my .emacs.d/init.el:
(custom-set-faces
'(default ((t (:family "Monaco" :foundry "unknown" :slant normal :weight normal :height 128 :width normal)))))
I find the (custom-set-faces ...) doesn't make sense in this case, I use the following code found in https://superuser.com/ and succeed.
(set-frame-font "Monaco 14" nil t)
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist
'(font . "Monaco 14"))

In both emacs 25.2.2 on Ubuntu 18.10, and 26.2 on arch we are experiencing the following weird behavior:
Ubuntu 18:
there is a .emacs file in my home directory.
If I run emacs, it works
.emacs sets indent style, font, and color
(custom-set-faces
;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
'(default ((t (:inherit nil :stipple nil :background "white" :foreground "black" :inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil :overline nil :underline nil :slant normal :weight bold :height 180 :width normal :foundry "urw" :family "Nimbus Mono L")))))
(set-background-color "black")
(set-foreground-color "green")
When emacs is run by gnome-settings, it does not set the font correctly, but does set the indent and the color. I therefore conclude that the font setting is not working when gnome is first set up.
On arch, running emacs looks ok. But then if we load the file and M-x eval-buffer the font changes. Evaluating twice changes the font again. Eval a third time does nothing.
Can anyone explain what is happening, and how we can reliably select a font regardless of when the command is run?
I tried out the solarized theme (available from here) and really liked it. However, it somehow overwrites my whitespace settings and no matter how I configure the whitespace-face, it gets overwritten. Any ideas on how to control the color of my whitespaces while keeping the neat looking color-theme-solarized-dark?
From .emacs:
;;; Install colortheme
(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/blabla/.emacs.d/color-theme-6.6.0/")
(require 'color-theme)
(eval-after-load "color-theme"
'(progn
(color-theme-initialize)
(color-theme-hober)))
;;; Install solarized
(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/blabla/.emacs.d/emacs-color-theme-solarized")
(require 'color-theme-solarized)
(color-theme-solarized-dark)
This was my previous setup:
(custom-set-faces
'(whitespace-space ((((class color) (background light)) (:background "white" :foreground "darkgrey"))))
'(whitespace-tab ((((class color) (background light)) (:background "white" :foreground "darkgrey")))))
The only thing I found to have any effect was:
(whitespace-space ((t (:background "red"))))
Of course, that just renders an ugly background for every white space.
Using GNU Emacs 23.3.1.
The version of Solarized here has all the faces needed for whitespace-mode to look good with Solarized. It's for Emacs 24 (but may work on Emacs 23 as well if load-theme is present there) only though, but if you don't want to use it you can simply copy the relevant colors into the definition of the color theme you've downloaded.
I like maximum syntax highlighting of AucTeX, but I don't like AucTeX messing with fonts. For example, if I use italics, it shows italicized letters in my emacs buffer, and shows subscripts and superscripts in small letters (slightly above or below the line). I prefer to use a fixed width font regardless of the latex environment I am in.
I tried changing the settings for the variable font-latex-deactivated-keyword-classes, but then the syntax coloring also disappears.
Could someone suggest a way to fix this?
Thanks.
From http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/manual/auctex/Faces.html#Faces
In case you want to change the colors and fonts used by font-latex please refer to the faces mentioned in the explanations above and use M-x customize-face RET <face> RET. All faces defined by font-latex are accessible through a customization group by typing
M-x customize-group RET font-latex-highlighting-faces RET.
The above command opens the settings buffer where you can set the appropriate font face. Once you save changes, your .emacs file will contain a line similar to:
'(font-latex-sectioning-5-face ((((class color) (background light))
(:inherit variable-pitch :foreground "blue4" :weight normal :foundry
"outline" :family "Century Gothic")
In your example, you can customize the Font Latex Italic Face to your specifications. Your .emacs should then contain
'(font-latex-italic-face ...)
to whatever you set it to. You can similarly customize superscript, subscript and whole host of other font faces.
In recent versions of AUCTeX:
(setq font-latex-fontify-script nil)
(setq font-latex-fontify-sectioning 'color)
See this page in the manual and the section Deactivating defaults of built-in keyword classes.
Tested on Emacs 24.3. Put the following in your ~/.emacs file:
(custom-set-faces
;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.

I used the Options/Set Default Font menu item to set my default emacs font to be LMMonoLtCond10 (it brought up a nice font-selector GUI widget to let me do this). My emacs immediately adopted the new font, and I was very happy. I then did Options/Save Options, and on inspecting my .emacs.d/init.el file saw that it had written the following there:
(custom-set-faces
;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
'(default ((t (:inherit nil :stipple nil :background "white" :foreground "black"
:inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil :overline nil :underline nil :slant normal
:weight light :height 120 :width normal :foundry "unknown" :family "LMMonoLtCond10"))))
(There are a couple of other faces I've defined below that.)
Unfortunately, if I quit emacs, and restart, it completely fails to recreate the font configuration that I had selected. Instead, I think it's giving me LMRoman-12. Am I doing something wrong, or is this an emacs bug.
I'm using Emacs 23.1.1:
(emacs-version)
"GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1)
of 2011-03-05 on palmer, modified by Debian"
on an Ubuntu system.
Sounds like it might be a bug. M-x report-emacs-bug
I'm getting the error Unable to load color "unspecified-bg" [16 times] when using emacsclient -c. I've started up emacs using emacs --daemon. This seems to mean that my custom faces won't load.
When starting emacs as usual, and then using M-x server-start, then this problem doesn't happen at all. How can I get emacsclient -c to load the faces properly?
Here's the relevant code:
(custom-set-faces '(default ((t (:inherit nil :stipple nil :background "black" :foreground "white" :inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil :overline nil :underline nil :slant normal :weight normal :height 120 :width normal :foundry "unknown" :family "Inconsolata")))))
I'm not 100% sure this would fix your problem, but you really should be using color-theme for syntax highlighting. Custom is meant for beginning emacs users, so I'd suggest you try out color-theme and see if it works. Here's how I have it set up on my machine:
Download the package from the color-theme homepage.
Put the color-theme folder somewhere like ~/.emacs.d/color-theme/.
Make sure this folder is in your load-path. I took the following code from a Steve Yegge post:
In your .emacs:
(defvar emacs-root "~/.emacs.d/")
(labels
((add-path
(p)
(add-to-list
'load-path
(concat emacs-root p))))
(add-path "lisp")
(add-path "color-theme-6.6.0")
(add-path "cedet-1.0"))
(require 'color-theme)
Then you define your color theme:
;; Color-theme
(eval-after-load "color-theme"
'(progn
(color-theme-initialize)
;; Set custom color theme
(defun color-theme-mine ()
"My custom color theme"
(interactive)
(set-cursor-color "#ffffff")
(color-theme-install
'(color-theme-mine
;; Super-light grey on Dark grey
((foreground-color . "#e0e0e0")
(background-color . "#151515")
(background-mode . dark))
(font-lock-comment-face ((t (:foreground "#106010")))) ;; Forest Green
;; More definitions below
;; ...
(color-theme-mine)) ;; end eval-after-load
This will load color-them-mine when you start emacs. You can see all available color themes by typing M-x color-theme <TAB>. To see the full list of faces available, use the command M-x list-faces-display.
Sounds like this might be bug #4776: http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=4776#5. If not, consider filing a bug report for this one, using M-x report-emacs-bug.
