11 Sounds like your desktop resolution is too low.
12
13 Or emacs is trying to use a huge font.
14
15 After setting your resolution to more reasonable size you can control
16 emacs size, color, shape, font etc with lisp code.
17
18 If you want to delve into lisp I can copy paste some old code I've
19 used from time to time but I'm not a lisp programmer at all.
20 For that approach you will want to post on gnu.emacs.help newsgroup.
21
22 You can also control emacs with a ~/.Xresources file. Thats how I
23 like to do it.
24
25 This will give you some ideas about how that might be done:
26 (from ~/.Xresources)
27
28 emacs*Background: black
29 emacs*Foreground: papayawhip
30 emacs*pointerColor: white
31 emacs*cursorColor: magenta
32 emacs*bitmapIcon: on
33 emacs*font: -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso8859-1
34 emacs.geometry: 100x38
