I think if you feel strongly about the newbie experience, maybe you can help setup and maintain a single binary Emacs distro with your theme as the default. I'm the complete opposite of the original poster in all of these threads. I avoid applications with variable width fonts. I treasure that my terminals all have the same fixed width font and it isn't overridden by every document or application. I find variable fonts to be an aesthetic hassle. I wish I could read more items on my terminal or in fixed width in Emacs. It's very high speed and consistent. The modern web is a particular hassle with bright backgrounds and highly inconsistent and illegible fonts. However, if that's what makes you happy in Emacs, feel free to customize it that way. You can always have it your way in your config. ;] ------------------------------------------------------------------ Russell Adams RLAdams@AdamsInfoServ.com PGP Key ID: 0x1160DCB3 http://www.adamsinfoserv.com/ Fingerprint: 1723 D8CA 4280 1EC9 557F 66E8 1154 E018 1160 DCB3
