Better font for EMACS

[d***@gmail.com]

I am using Emacs 21.3.1 on a linux system. I want to change the default
font in emacs to a better one, namely ProFont. Can someone point me to
somewhere or tell me how I would go about doing this?
ProFont is already installed on my computer and it works for other
applications. I just cannot get it to show up in the emacs font menu
(C-mouse1). Any ideas about how to set this up so I can get it working?

Try to check your ~/.Xdefaults:

e.g.:

emacs*Background: DarkSlateGray
emacs*Foreground: Wheat
emacs*pointerColor: Orchid
emacs*cursorColor: Orchid
emacs*bitmapIcon: on
emacs*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-*-*-14-*-100-100-*-*-iso8859-*
emacs.geometry: 85x60+200+50
...
