Hi there

I made the switch to Cygwin/X Emacs and the font for the menus is very big  and (to my knowledge) not easily adjusted with emacs functions.

Is there a way via X to modify the menus and make the font smaller?

Many thanks, Leo

>From my understanding, with these values in your .Xdefaults you set only the main font, but not the font in the menus.

In my .Xdefaults I have

Emacs.FontBackend:      xft
Emacs.font:             Bitstream Vera Sans Mono 11

and Emacs in X looks just fine.

Ciao,
Angelo.
