Looks good in the terminal but is an utter disaster in emacs.

Looks good in gvim. ;-)

You refreshed the font cache?

Yes, ran the fc-cache command.

Emacs, for some disastrous reason, inserts extra space between each character so that it looks, well..., very spaced out. It's awful. I wonder why emacs does that!

Did you install the .otf or .ttf fonts? Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann Dept. of Computer Science University of Waikato, NZ +64 (7) 858-5174 http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ http://www.data-mining.co.nz/
