Ah, you remind me that I had loaded emacs-23 in F11 from updates-testing
(for just this reason). That's why I was able to use the gnome-terminal
fonts in the first place.

In my .emacs file, I have
(custom-set-faces
;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
'(default ((t (:inherit nil :stipple nil :background
"lightgrey" :foreground "black" :inverse-video nil :box
nil :strike-through nil :overline nil :underline nil :slant
normal :weight normal :height 83 :width normal :foundry
"unknown" :family "DejaVu Sans Mono")))))
I did add the :background setting by hand, but the rest is what was
saved by Emacs. Does the fact that you have "DejaVu Sans Mono-9" and I
have "DejaVu Sans Mono" make a difference? If so, how did you get that
string?

This might be cool, but it could also be a major pain. I'll have to
give it a try at some point.
