Thanks. Good page. That helped me formulate the coding below. And in
it the variable value "normal" should be acceptable, but emacs doesn't
like it for some reason (see below).* Perhaps my syntax is off somewhere?

Thanks much, but that gives the same error as in my previous email.
So I tried this instead:
(set-face-attribute 'default nil :family "alegreya" :foundry "misc"
:slant "normal" :weight "normal" :height 258 :width "normal")
It works, but throws an error: Wrong type argument: symbolp, "normal"
Prior to this I tried the same, but without quotes around the three
instances of "normal" -- that didn't work at all.
Another problem is that the resulting font is too small, but changing
"258" to e.g. "358" doesn't change anything. How can I find out an
appropriate specification?
Thanks again.
