Hello, I am trying your emacs for OS X and I like it very much. (Previously, I had been using an earlier "carbonized" emacs that was pretty good, but I would like to be using something under more active development.) It has a behavior which has prompted this message. While emacs is starting up, and loading all the packages and so forth from my .emacs file, everything goes fine until the very end. At the end, the window suddenly enlarges and the font gets bigger, and then it finishes loading. In other words, something is overriding my customizations (I purposefully have the default frame and font very small). I poked around and found the culprit in a directory called site-start.d inside the site-lisp directory. Here's the code that was causing the problem until I commented it out: ;; Osaka 12 (require 'carbon-font) (set-default-font "fontset-osaka12") (add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "fontset-osaka12")) I've heard of the site-start file, and so it doesn't surprise me that there would be a site-start directory as well. My question is this: shouldn't the customizations that I have in my .emacs file override anything in site-lisp files or directories (not the other way around)? Thanks for any information. Jay
