Package: emacs21
Version: 21.4a-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Since my Xorg update to the 7.0 version, I can't use emacs (in X mode)
because all the characters are displayed as small rectangles.

When started in a console, emacs21 produces the following error message:

Warning: Cannot convert string
"-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string
"-*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct

Any other font selected in the "Set Font/Fontset" menu give the same result.

This bug might be a transient bug on the way to Xorg 7.0.
