Bug#364504: Bug#363667: emacs21: Unreadable fonts since Xorg 7.0 update
Hi. I checked my xorg.conf, installed mule-ucs, re-set my locales to an ISO one and installed xfs, and my emacs is still nothing but unreadable rectangles where characters should be. -- ~ in the battle between my demons and my better angels, at least there is a fair fight - linux user # 408597

Bug#363667: emacs21: Unreadable fonts since Xorg 7.0 update
I have experienced this problem too, but I found the solution to be found in bug #363664 which contains a link to bug #362894. Changing the symbolic link did the trick. I propose to merge these bug-reports. The solution should be to make sure that the link points to the right place.

Bug#363667: emacs21: Unreadable fonts since Xorg 7.0 update
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.
