Tiny font in org-agenda-columns when using emacs --daemon

Tiny font in org-agenda-columns when using emacs --daemon

[Jakob Lombacher]

Hi,

When I start emacs as daemon "emacs --daemon"  and than attache a
client to it, the org-agenda-columns view appears in a very tiny font.
If I start emacs "normally" the view appears in standard font size.

I found out that the "Org Column face" is set to different values
(Height: 1, ...). I can adapt it and it works, but when I start the
emacsclient again, all settings are lost.
So it looks like the emacsclient overwrites those settings.

Has anybody an idea what's the cause of that? Can anybody report the
same behavior?

I use emacs 23.1-r3 on a gentoo linux system and org-mode 6.36c.

Jakob

I think you are tyring to run "emacs --daemon" from terminal window and
that might not load emacs in an X environment. This is my guess and I
might be wrong.

It's been annoying me for a long time.  Here is my quick fix.

(defun wl-org-column-view-uses-fixed-width-face ()
  ;; copy from org-faces.el
  (when (fboundp 'set-face-attribute)
    ;; Make sure that a fixed-width face is used when we have a column table.
    (set-face-attribute 'org-column nil
			:height (face-attribute 'default :height)
			:family (face-attribute 'default :family))))

(when (and (fboundp 'daemonp) (daemonp))
  (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'wl-org-column-view-uses-fixed-width-face))

That does the trick. Thanks!


@Noorul:
It doesn't matter where I start it from. I tried both.

I also found out that the problem with the tiny fonts does not appear on my 
other system, ... also gentoo, but the emacs ist installed with less 
additional packages, and slightly different use flags. 
It's weired, but anyway the quick fix works.
