I use the following in my .emacs to set my default font to Ubuntu Mono:

(set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "Ubuntu Mono")

However, the defauly font size is too tiny for me. In my menubar I see Options->Set Default Font..., but the changes I make there does not propogate to my next session.

Should I be setting something in .emacs to set default font size? (I like it to be 24)

Thanks!

    I think it's just because you didn't "save" the setting (I remember there is another option in the menubar to save the setting.)

Reset to default

An answer to a similar Stack Overflow question mentions that another argument to set-face-attribute is height, which takes an integer representing tenths of a point. So to make it 24pt, you would use:

(set-face-attribute 'default nil :font "Ubuntu Mono" :height 240)
