Use font @var{name} as the default font.
@end table
! Under X, each font has a long name which consists of fourteen words
! or numbers, separated by dashes. Some fonts also have shorter
! nicknames. For instance, @samp{9x15} is such a nickname. This font
! makes each character nine pixels wide and fifteen pixels high. You
! can use either kind of name. Case is insignificant in both kinds.
! You can use wildcard patterns for the font name; then Emacs lets X
! choose one of the fonts that match the pattern. The wildcard
! character @samp{*} matches any sequence of characters (including none)
! and @samp{?} matches any single character. However, matching is
! implementation-dependent, and can be inaccurate when wildcards match
! dashes in a long name. For reliable results, supply all 14 dashes and
! use wildcards only within a field. Here is an example, which happens
! to specify the font whose nickname is @samp{6x13}:

+ Note that if you use a wildcard pattern on the command line, you
+ need to enclose it in single or double quotes, to prevent the shell
+ from accidentally expanding it into a list of file names. On the
+ other hand, you should not quote the name in the @file{.Xdefaults}
+ file.
