 When passing a font specification to Emacs on the command line, you
 may need to ``quote'' it, by enclosing it in quotation marks, if it
 contains characters that the shell treats specially (e.g. spaces).
-Here is an example:
+For example:
 
 @smallexample
 emacs -fn "DejaVu Sans Mono-12"
 @end smallexample
 
-@cindex X defaults file
-@cindex X resources file
-  You can also specify the font using your X resources file (usually a
-file named @file{.Xdefaults} or @file{.Xresources} in your home
-directory), by adding a line like this:
-
-@smallexample
-emacs.font: @var{font}
-@end smallexample
-
-@noindent
-You must restart X, or use the @command{xrdb} command, for the X
-resources file to take effect.  @xref{Resources}.  When specifying a
-font in your X resources file, you should not quote it.
-
-@cindex fontconfig
-  Emacs recognizes two types of fonts: @dfn{client-side} fonts, which
-are provided by the Xft and Fontconfig libraries, and
-@dfn{server-side} fonts, which are provided by the X server itself.
-Most client-side fonts support advanced font features such as
-antialiasing and subpixel hinting, while server-side fonts do not.
-
-  There are four different ways to express a ``font name''.  The first
-format consists of @dfn{Fontconfig patterns}.  Fontconfig patterns
-match only client-side fonts provided by Xft and Fontconfig, and have
-the following form:
-
-@smallexample
-@var{fontname}[-@var{fontsize}][:@var{name1}=@var{values1}][:@var{name2}=@var{values2}]...
-@end smallexample
-
-@noindent
-Within this format, any of the elements in braces may be omitted.
-Here, @var{fontname} is the ``family name'' of the font, such as
-@samp{Monospace} or @samp{DejaVu Serif}; @var{fontsize} is the ``point
-size'' of the font (one ``printer's point'' is about 1/72 of an inch);
-and the @samp{@var{name}=@var{values}} entries specify settings such
-as the slant and weight of the font.  Each @var{values} may be a
-single value, or a list of values separated by commas.  In addition,
-some property values are valid with only one kind of property name, in
-which case the @samp{@var{name}=} part may be omitted.
-
-Here is a list of common font properties:
-
-@table @samp
-@item slant
-One of @samp{italic}, @samp{oblique} or @samp{roman}.
-
-@item weight
-One of @samp{light}, @samp{medium}, @samp{demibold}, @samp{bold} or
-@samp{black}.
-
-@item style
-Some fonts define special styles which are a combination of slant and
-weight.  For instance, the font @samp{Dejavu Sans} defines the style
-@samp{book}.  This property, if specified, overrides the slant and
-weight properties.
-
-@item width
-One of @samp{condensed}, @samp{normal}, or @samp{expanded}.
-
-@item spacing
-One of @samp{monospace}, @samp{proportional}, @samp{dual-width}, or

-@noindent
-Here are some examples of Fontconfig patterns:
-
-@smallexample

-Monospace-12:bold
-DejaVu Sans Mono:bold:italic
-Monospace-12:weight=bold:slant=italic

-is also available online at

-
-  The second way to specify a font is to use a @dfn{GTK font
-description}.  Like Fontconfig patterns, GTK font descriptions match

-@cindex XLFD
-@cindex X Logical Font Description
-  The third way to specify a font is to use an @dfn{XLFD} (@dfn{X

-specifying fonts under X.  Each XLFD consists of fourteen words or
-numbers, separated by dashes, like this:
-
-@smallexample
--misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-*-*-*-c-60-iso8859-1
-@end smallexample
-
-@noindent
-A wildcard character (@samp{*}) in an XLFD matches any sequence of
-characters (including none), and @samp{?} matches any single
-character.  However, matching is implementation-dependent, and can be
-inaccurate when wildcards match dashes in a long name.  For reliable
-results, supply all 14 dashes and use wildcards only within a field.
-Case is insignificant in an XLFD.  The syntax for an XLFD is as

-
-@smallexample
--@var{maker}-@var{family}-@var{weight}-@var{slant}-@var{widthtype}-@var{style}@dots{}
-@dots{}-@var{pixels}-@var{height}-@var{horiz}-@var{vert}-@var{spacing}-@var{width}-@var{registry}-@var{encoding}

-@item family
-The name of the font family (e.g. @samp{courier}).
-@item weight
-The font weight---normally either @samp{bold}, @samp{medium} or

-An optional additional style name.  Usually it is empty---most long
-font names have two hyphens in a row at this point.
-@item pixels
-The font height, in pixels.
-@item height
-The font height on the screen, measured in tenths of a printer's
-point.  This is the point size of the font, times ten.  For a given

-therefore, it is common to specify just one of them and use @samp{*}
-for the other.
-@item horiz
-The horizontal resolution, in pixels per inch, of the screen for which
-the font is intended.
-@item vert
-The vertical resolution, in pixels per inch, of the screen for which
-the font is intended.  Normally the resolution of the fonts on your
-system is the right value for your screen; therefore, you normally

-This is @samp{m} (monospace), @samp{p} (proportional) or @samp{c}
-(character cell).
-@item width
-The average character width, in pixels, multiplied by ten.
-@item registry
-@itemx encoding
-The X font character set that the font depicts.  (X font character
-sets are not the same as Emacs character sets, but they are similar.)
-You can use the @command{xfontsel} program to check which choices you
-have.  Normally you should use @samp{iso8859} for @var{registry} and

-normal font specification.  For instance,
-
-@smallexample
--misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-*-*-*-c-60-iso8859-1
-@end smallexample

-  For server-side X fonts, any font with @samp{m} or @samp{c} in the

 *** Emacs can use the system default monospaced font in Gnome.
 To enable this feature, set `font-use-system-font' to non-nil (it is

 at compile-time if configure detects the gconf libraries (you can
 disable this with the configure option --without-gconf).

 *** On X11, Emacs reacts to Xft changes made by configuration tools,
 via the XSETTINGS mechanism.  This includes antialias, hinting,
 hintstyle, RGBA, DPI and lcdfilter changes.
