simply put in .emacs file:

(set-default-font "-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--18-180-75-75-m-110-iso8859-1")

with the grep arguments to get different choices.

xlsfonts | grep courier-medium-r | grep .-18- | grep 59-1$ xfd -fn $(xlsfonts | grep courier-medium-r | grep .-18- | grep 59-1$)

You can run these commands (at least on Linux, probably on FreeBSD too) to see what fonts are on your system:

Code:

xlsfonts            ## This displays system fonts xfd -fn fontname    ## This pops up a window displaying it
