[gentoo-user] font missing
After doing emerge --depclean on an amd64 machine, I find that Emacs no longer locates the font it previously used. The font I liked was specified in my .emacs file with the line (set-default-font 10x20). Using the old .emacs file and doing emacs --debug-init now produces an error message that starts as follows:: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error Font `10x20' is not defined) modify-frame-parameters(#frame em...@microway 0xf41280 ((font . 10x20))) set-default-font(10x20) eval-buffer(#buffer *load* nil /home/john/.emacs nil t) ; Reading at buffer position 3345 load-with-code-conversion(/home/john/.emacs /home/john/.emacs t t) load(~/.emacs t t) #[nil Doing xlsfonts -l 10x20 at the Gentoo prompt elicits this response: DIR MIN MAX EXIST DFLT PROP ASC DESC NAME --0 255 some0 23 155 -cronyx-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-koi8-r Interpreting this as a translation of the nickname 10x20 into the long name, I edited my .emacs file, replacing (set-default-font 10x20) with (set-default-font -cronyx-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-koi8-r) With that change done, emacs starts without any error message. However, the font is not quite the same as the old one. The old font had no serifs except on the letters i and l, where they avoid confusion with the number 1. The new font has serifs on most letters and, to my eye, looks unnecessarily cluttered. With emacs running, I tried holding down the shift key and clicking the left mouse button. That as expected brought up a font menu. Selecting Misc 10x20 elicited the response Font not found. Comparing the font paths on the computer with the missing 10x20 font and on a computer with no font problem, I see the paths starting with /usr/share/fonts/misc are identical. Nonetheless there is a difference in the results from doing locate 10x20 on the two machines. I can locate the following misc/10x20 fonts on the machine where Emacs works well but not on the machine where Emacs does not work well: /usr/share/fonts/misc/10x20.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/misc/10x20-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/misc/10x20-ISO8859-2.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/misc/10x20-ISO8859-3.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/misc/10x20-ISO8859-4.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/misc/10x20-ISO8859-5.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/misc/10x20-ISO8859-7.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/misc/10x20-ISO8859-8.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/misc/10x20-ISO8859-9.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/misc/10x20-ISO8859-10.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/misc/10x20-ISO8859-11.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/misc/10x20-ISO8859-13.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/misc/10x20-ISO8859-14.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/misc/10x20-ISO8859-15.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/misc/10x20-ISO8859-16.pcf.gz /usr/share/fonts/misc/10x20-KOI8-R.pcf.gz Suggestions for recovering the old 10x20 font would be appreciated. -John -- John P.

Re: [gentoo-user] Font missing after xorg upgrade
I haven't checked lately, but when I upgraded to modular Xorg, the following font package was missing: media-fonts/font-schumacher-misc I was unable to run a program I'd compiled myself---xtide.

[gentoo-user] Font missing after xorg upgrade
Hello all, I just completed upgrading to Xorg 7.0 and it went fine, however, I seem to be missing Courier 10 pitch which was the only monospaced font that looks decent on my screen. When I started X all my monospaced fonts were set as courier which looks terrible. Does anyone know where to get this font back? I did a google but it did not help.

I would still like to know where the 10 pitch is if anybody knows...
