Thanks I think you can close this bug as a workaround exist. I think it is still a bug to exit instead of trying a fallback font if the desired font could not be loaded.

severity 503194 normal retitle 503194 emacs22-gtk: does not support fontconfig font names thanks On 2008-10-23 14:08 +0200, Frederic-Emmanuel PICCA wrote: Package: emacs22-gtk Version: 22.2+2-4 Severity: important Here the message when I try to start emacs22: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ emacs Please try `emacs -Q' instead. No fonts match `Monospace-8' `Monospace-8' is a fontconfig name, emacs22 only supports the bad old XLFD¹ font names. Only the development version of Emacs is able to make use of fontconfig names. what is wrong with my installation ?
