--- Begin Message ---Package: emacs21 Version: 21.4a+1-3 Severity: important I started emacs from shell and menu. Alas, I get many boxes. This kind of funny application behavior is the typical situation when correct font is not available. Is this intended thing under en_US.UTF-8 locale? I thought etch was UTF-8 as default. Since gvim start without problem here, I think default behavior of emacs deserves a bit better support. (I think issue is default font selection.) FYI: xemacs from menu does not even start from menu. From shell, xemacs has interesting message under the same condition: Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*, -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-iso10646-1, -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-jisx0208.1983-0, -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-jisx0201.1976-0" to type FontSet Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset Fatal error (11). ...
