Setting the default font for Emacs
The same stuff was dealt here while a ago, but the problem came back after I installed a new Fedora. This time, the font specified in .emacs is displayed with wrong anti-alias (I guess.)
Another approach to change font in emacs is given here. This works for the new system as well, and I believe this is a better way now.
Edit ~/.Xdefault. The line in the next needs to be inserted.
Emacs.font: ‘any font name you want from xfontsel’
run ‘xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xdefaults’.
Workaround of CIFS error
When I tried to mount a windows folder on a remote windows computer, such as an active directory or samba, I got this error from time to time.
CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -22
This error can be solved by typing in an actual IP of a remote windows computer instead of a domain name. This tip is from here.
