Hi, how comes that emacs displays the text with ugly characters? See the attached screenshots for what I mean: one is from xterm, the other one is from an emacs frame. The characters from the emacs frame are somehow messed up. I've tried different monospace fonts and different sizes, and they all get messed up alike. Some sizes don't seem to be selectable with some fonts. When I run emacs in xterm, the characters are ok (and the keybindings are messed up instead). What could I do about this? Is there an ideal font to use for emacs?
