how to reduce the font size in emacs?
 

Hi,

I have the following in my ~/.emacs file

;; Display settings
(setq default-frame-alist
'(
(width . 100)
(height . 70)
(font .
"-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-m-100-iso8859-1")

(mouse-color . "Pink")
(cursor-color . "Pink")
(background-color . "Black")
(foreground-color . "White")
))

The above is to make the font bigger not smaller, but you get the idea ;)

You need to choose the font to suit what you want. I use xfontsel for this.

Shift-Mouse1 gives you a menu to select with. You can also do
$ emacs -fn 7x14
on the commandline, or edit .Xresources and add the line:
Emacs.font: -xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-iso10646-1
for example. Then to make it take effect
$ xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources

There are more ways I am sure, but these works for me.
