I get this problem too. When I launch emacs (as an X application) from an xterm I also get this:
$ emacs clie.jape Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font I've partly hacked around it by adding emacs.font:-*-fixed-medium-r-*--13-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15 to my ~/.Xdefault files. This started happening on one computer when I upgraded from dapper to edgy, but not on another one.
