This question shows how to change a particular Emacs setting with set-face-attribute.

Where can I find documentation on set-face-attribute?

Normally I find documentation by C-h a, followed by a command or fragment of a command. But doing this for set-face-attribute turns up nothing.

Standard way to get description of function is C-h f - press it and type function name (you can use TAB to complete function name).

If you'll press C-h ? - you'll get list of all help functions. Another useful keybinding is C-h v - to get description of variable.

  • Son of a gun, there it is! I had thought that C-h a (apropos) would cover EVERYTHING. Obviously I was mistaken. Thanks. – user11583 Feb 27 '12 at 17:33

    `C-h a` is useful when you don't know command/variable name, and wants to find it ;-) – Alex Ott Feb 27 '12 at 18:02
