When starting Emacs from menu, it is not obeying .Xresources

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 759 / 3 Years ago, mon, may 10, 2021, 7:54:23

I have

emacs.font: Inconsolata-13

in my .Xresources

(And I have said xrdb -merge .Xresources. I have even rebooted the computer.)

When I open Emacs from the command line, it uses Inconsolata. When I open Emacs from the desktop menu, or from file browser ("Open With"), Emacs does not use Inconsolata as its font. (But something that looks like DejaVu Sans Mono).

What is going on?

I have Ubuntu 13.10 and Xubuntu desktop.

Right. The Ubuntu menus launch emacs24, not emacs. Have to add to .Xresources:

emacs24.font: Inconsolata-13
