Notice how the font in the 'xfontsel' application and the Konsole window - the one I'm trying to get Emacs to use - is still different from what Emacs is displaying after executing the (set-default-font "-*-console-*-*-*-*-17-*-*-*-*-*-*-*") command shown in the scratch buffer. The 'console' font does not show up in the pop-up menu when when I shift-left-click in Emacs. I've tried lots of combinations inplace of the wildcards in the font selection string, with no real luck.Any tips?
Could be you need to add some more keys – weight, slant, styles, registry, encoding ... for me it worked at once to switch to another font (Bitstream Vera Sans Mono) with (set-default-font "-*-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-*-*-0-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1").
To see some more fonts in the Font Menu *you* need to add them (or contribute a routine that finds automatically system monospaced fonts on a dozen windowing architectures)! The object to edit is x-fixed- font-alist. You could also create new fontsets ...
