does anyone know how to set the default font for emacs?

set-default-font is deprecated, it's now an alias for set-frame-font, but that means that when you create a new frame (`C-x 5 2`) it doesn't use the right font

what i've done in the past is use customize-group for emacs, set the default face, and then go look at the customize.el file it creates to see what it likes to do

I'm making tests that require point being at a certain spot of text in sexp's

I've got it working with strings, where i pass in the entire sexp with a | as where I want my point, and then in a temp buffer, find this and delete it and then carry out my function

I'd like to be able to just pass in a sexp and use a macro to do all this for me

However, I'm not sure how to get the forms into the buffer unevaluated

does anyone have any pointers?

I want to insert the unevaluated form into the temp buffer since it contains invalid code and re-search for |, but insert is a function so it is evaluating the code

I wish i could invoke the reader without the evaluator and have it give me its string representation

@plexus: I always use customize-face and choose default, from which most other faces inherit

which results in something like this in ~/.emacs, which I can then edit by hand:

@dpsutton: the macro will receive the unevaluated sexp which you can turn into a string. Can't remember the function now (and I'm on my phone) but the equivalent of Clojure's pr-str

thanks for thinking about it

i was trying to stringify it with (format "%s" malformed-code) but this eval's the malformed code

That's surprising

not really, right? format is just a function so it eval's all of its arguments

ah maybe (format "%s" (list @,malformed-code)) would work

Ah you're outputting format from the macro? I would call it inside the macro

Or wrap the argument in an extra (quote...)

But yeah you want to generate that string at macro expansion time, not at runtime

ah yes quote it worked

thanks so much plexus

always a pleasure :)
