I got a reply from emacs-snapshot maintainer. The font selection dialog appears to be broken. Here is what he had to say: ********************************************* Yeah, there's a bug with some fonts being unavailable via the GTK+ font selector, not sure yet what's up with that. Inconsolata should work via the Emacs.font X resource, e.g. the following looks okay here: emacs -xrm 'Emacs.FontBackend: xft' -xrm 'Emacs.font: Inconsolata-12' -Q ********************************************* Regards. -- Please reply to this list only.
