What is your Emacs Font Size?

Emacs

Hi,

Curious to know: what font and size do you use in Emacs, and what’s your monitor size and resolution?

Thanks :cupcake:

So you are using the same font size (13) in both 24 FHD and 27 QHD?

Yes, as it’s the same Emacs I connect to with xrdp and different monitors have different resolutions and I also use the same config, locally on other machines.

I use 12 in system for most font, for smaller ones maybe 13/14
I use 2.8K res (2880x1800) oled laptop with scaling set to 2x (200%) with niri WM.

With emacs I set default to :height to 120, and variable-pitch follows as 1.1 height

Font: Mostly IBM Plex

Mine is 16 pt. I prefer larger font size to protect my eyes. :slight_smile:

I use a few different machines depending on if I’m at my desk, work, or on the go. Mostly:

  • 3024x1964 - 14"
  • 2560x1600 - 16"
  • 3840x2160 - 27"
(set-frame-font "Fira Code-10")

Monitor is: 1920x1080 @ 21"

Custom font function (not mine, I don’t remember where I got it):

(fpmacs/set-font '(:family "IntoneMono Nerd Font Mono"
                        :height 80))
10

Monitor: 13’’ to 27’’ @ 1920x1080 to 3840x2160
Font: (font-spec :family "JetBrainsMono Nerd Font" :size 11.0 :weight 'normal :width 'normal) and (font-spec :family "Iosevka Aile" :weight 'light) (variable-pitch)

I occasionally use text-scale-* (e.g. when screen sharing or due to tiredness).

EDIT:
For proper matching, Iosevka Aile has to be scaled a bit:

(add-to-list 'face-font-rescale-alist '("Iosevka Aile" . 1.1))
