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.
