[Bug 445402] [NEW] emacs default font is huge

[Tuukka Hastrup]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: emacs23

Since the latest emacs upgrade in Karmic, the default font is now huge.
The Set Default Font dialog claims the font is DejaVu Sans Mono Book 12,
and in the preview, capital letters indeed are 12 pixels high. However,
in the editor, capital letters are 14 pixels high and look bold. For
comparison, capitals in the menu bar are the normal 10 pixels.

To get a sane editor font, I need to set the size to 8, resulting in 9
pixels - I cannot get the height of 10 pixels, as sizes like 8.5 result
in the error "Font not available". xdpyinfo reports 118x119 dots per
inch, and Gnome font settings are at font size 10, 96 dpi, subpixels, a
little hinting.
