'xlsfonts | grep 8x13' returns nothing.
'xlsfonts | grep x13' shows '6x13' and "emacs --font=6x13" works,
thought it's not ideal.
/etc/X11/fs/config _does_ have /usr/share/fonts/misc and that
directory does have 8x13 fonts.
With xorg-server-1.5.3, my xorg.conf has been reduced to 3 lines so that
my keyboard and mouse would work, i.e.
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"
EndSection
I've copied the "Section Files" and all the FontPath lines
(including one with /usr/share/fonts/misc) from my old xorg.conf, but
that hasn't helped emacs find 8x13.
