23.0.60; Inconsistent fonts displayed

[Pete Lee]

I recently built from cvs and was happy to see the xft support.

I copied some ttf's to /usr/share/fonts/ttf and started Emacs as follows:

emacs --no-site-file --no-splash -fn 'dejavu sans mono-14' &

The DejaVu font is displayed nicely for all text that is *not* fontified.

However, fontified text is displayed using "fixed".  How can I fix this?  

My window manager doesn't support truetype fonts, and I am assuming Emacs can support this since it says in the News:

"This requires the freetype and fontconfig libraries, and
supports local fonts (fonts installed on the machine where Emacs is
running)."

I have both freetype and fontconfig installed... as I mentioned, DejaVu is used for all text except text that is fontified.  I'm hoping there is a way to use DejaVu for all text.

When I do "M-x set-default-font", DejaVu is not listed there.

Please let me know if I'm missing something or if I can provide more info.

Thanks!
