Hi Eli,

so I add that to the .emacs file and now I get the error:


error: Font not available, #<font-spec nil nil Topaz nil nil nil nil nil 8.0
nil nil nil ((:name . Topaz-8) (user-spec . Topaz-8))>

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.
