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.

Contrary to what the submitter says, Emacs does not depend on mule-ucs,
and there is no need to add such a dependency to the emacs21 package.
Installing mule-ucs probably changed the default fontset definition for
the submitter, which worked around the (unrelated) font selection
problems described in #363667, #367410, and elsewhere, but didn't
actually fix anything -- it just made the symptoms disappear.
This is not a bug in emacs21, so I'm closing this report with this
message.
Thanks,
