Package: emacs21
Version: 21.4a-3
Severity: important

I just upgraded to X11R7 that became available in unstable and emacs now
fails to find fonts and display something readable.

Here is what it prints at startup

$ emacs
Warning: Cannot convert string
"-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
Warning: Cannot convert string
"-*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
$

Once started, all characters are replaced with boxes.

I suppose it is related to a change of font path in the new X release
but do not know how to fix the problem.
