Re: Monospaced and proportional fonts

[Michael Heerdegen]

Hi,

you can use face remapping for that, a feature that was introduced in
Emacs 23.

It works for me to use something like this in the local variable list
of a file:

eval: (face-remap-add-relative 'default :family "DejaVu Sans Condensed" :height 
120)

I.e. to test it for any file, add this to the end of the file:

Local Variables:
eval: (face-remap-add-relative 'default :family "DejaVu Sans Condensed" :height 
120)
End:

I hope that's enough for you to experiment.  See the elisp manual,
Display > Faces, and Variables > File Local Variables.


Michael.
