Done that many times, but don't find any usable fixed fonts.  The 
declarations in my earlier email are ones as exampled in the "Fonts" 
section of the emacs manual that have worked in the past but don't seem 
to now.  Can't see any thing that shows up wrong in /usr/share/fonts.  
Save Options says changes to .emacs are saved but the file doesn't 
change even though the file is rwxrwxrwx.
