Install font for emacs 24.x

I've installed emacs 24.3, and I would like to use a specific font (Meslo LG M DZ), but when I launch emacs, I have the message "Font `Meslo LG M DZ' is not defined". What is strange, is that when I downgrade emacs version from 24 to 23, using the same configuration file, I can use this font without any problem...

Here is how I declare Meslo in the configuration file :

(setq default-frame-alist
  '(
    (width . 80)
    (tool-bar-lines . 0)
    => (font . "Meslo LG M DZ") <=
    (vertical-scroll-bars . nil)
    ))
(unless (fboundp 'prog-mode) (defalias 'prog-mode 'fundamental-mode))
...

How can I solve this?

Solution

  • It was just a matter of compilation option... I didn't use "--without-xft", but I needed to explicitly put "--with-xft".
