Bonjour,

I have this line in my init file .emacs :

(set-face-font 'default "fontset-default")
(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'grantha "Noto Serif Grantha")

And emacs complains that it cannot find this font.

If I test the installed fonts with fc-list, I get this answer:

fc-list |grep Grantha /usr/share/fonts/google-noto/NotoSerifGrantha-Regular.ttf: Noto Serif Grantha:style=Regular

So the font is installed.... Why this complaint? And how can I debug?

I add that this was perfectly working in my previous linux install, did
I miss something in my new installation?

Thank you for helping.

F.P.

My first guess is that somehow you're not getting the font name right.
If you tell

xlsfonts | grep rantha

to your shell, what do you get?

By the way, I set my GNU EMACS font using an X resource:

$ cat ~/.Xresources | grep emacs.font emacs.font: -misc-fira code medium-medium-r-normal--17-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1
$

I feel using an X resource sets the font quicker avoiding you noticing a
resize of the window. (If I recall correctly. It's been weeks since I
started the GNU EMACS.)

Good luck!

try M-x list-colors-display

I found the following in my dot-emacs file.


;; Fonts for win32

;; (setq w32-enable-synthesized-fonts t)
;; (set-face-font 'italic "-*-Courier New-normal-i-*-*-11-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1") ;; (set-face-font 'bold-italic "-*-Courier New-bold-i-*-*-11-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1")

;;(set-face-font 'default "-outline-Andale Mono-normal-normal-normal-mono-*-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1")

;; Display Windows Fonts
(defun si:win32-dump-fonts (&optional pattern)
"Insert available font names into current buffer.
When <pattern> is supplied only insert fonts that match <pattern>."
(interactive)
(let ((fonts (sort (x-list-fonts (or pattern "*")) 'string< ))
num)
(setq num (length fonts))
(save-excursion
(while fonts
(newline )
(insert (car fonts))
(setq fonts (cdr fonts)))
(newline))
(message "Inserted %d fonts." num)))



hope this helps
