Public bug reported: Running xemacs21 on Ubuntu 16.04. xemacs was installed via "apt-get install xemacs21". On startup, I consistently get this message:
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Also, instead of getting a nice Xemacs icon in the dock, I get the generic gray icon with a question mark. These seem to be issues with the package installation process. > cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS" > apt-cache policy xemacs21 xemacs21: Installed: 21.4.22-14ubuntu1 Candidate: 21.4.22-14ubuntu1 Version table: *** 21.4.22-14ubuntu1 500 500 http://aptrepo-omega.srv.cs.cmu.edu/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages 500 http://aptrepo-omega.srv.cs.cmu.edu/ubuntu xenial/universe i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: xemacs21 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1702220 Title: installation issues: fonts and launcher icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xemacs21/+bug/1702220/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
