In F11, selecting the same font in Emacs as the system monospace

F21,
the same font looks (a) much smaller and (b) more widely spaced than

gnome-terminal font (which looks the same as it did in F11).
Any idea what changed in Emacs and how I can get the font I want?
TIA.
emacs-23 happened. Fonts are MUCH better. Emacs can now use non-
bitmapped fonts.
Here are some suggestions:
1.
(cond
((display-graphic-p)
(set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "DejaVu Sans
Mono-9" :slant 'normal :weight 'normal)))
2. If you'd like to adjust font size using Ctrl-mouse wheel (like many
other apps):
(require 'zoom-frm)
(global-set-key (kbd "<C-mouse-5>") 'zoom-in)
(global-set-key (kbd "<C-mouse-4>") 'zoom-out)
For this you'll need:
zoom-frm.el
frame-fns.el
frame-cmds.el
You can find them all here: (e.g.)
