As before the fonts in text panes or widgets in GNU Emacs become unreadable in the end. This means: GNU Emacs 23.3 (stable) and GNU Emacs 24.0.50 (unstable) start in some default mode. Then they reset themselves to using whatever X resources or settings in the init files dictates. This means: In the beginning all text is readable, after the reset it's not readable.

So the first launch is ok, but not subsequent ones?

No, that's not what I tried to describe. It's more that GNU Emacsen 23.x and 24.0.50 have two stages of starting up. In the first stage all is OK except a bit too big. In the second stage, the final und useful stage, the fonts become illegible.

It makes no difference whether I use GNU Emacs 24.0.50 compiled with X libraries from MacPorts or with some (more) up-to-date libraries from Fink,

... ? Fink doesn't include X libraries in their distribution... I'm guessing you mean XQuartz X libraries and fink additional libraries.

No, I mean libXft, libotf, libthai, libdatrie, libm17n, libfontconfig, ... – I should have better written of X accompanying libraries!

The good news: blackbox 0.71 accepts, i.e. does not crash, when LC_CTYPE and/or LANG are set to some UTF-8 value:

Well, I'm glad blackbox got a bugfix, you should mention this in your MacPorts ticket.

There is *no* bugfix, just a different behaviour.

As I described: The MacPorts X server sets / as $HOME and blackbox crashes when LC_CTYPE or LANG have a value with UTF-8, the /usr/X11 or XQuartz server works correctly, follows ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist and keeps blackbox from crashing any time.


What was the last version of XQuartz that worked for you?

One that worked on Tiger! I'm not sure whether any package for Leopard worked correctly...

Let's try installing the server version from that release to see if the problem goes away. If it does, then we know it's a server issue... if not, then it's a client issue...

I have:

        X11-2.3.0.pkg
        X11-2.4.0.dmg
        X11-2.5.0.dmg
        X11-2.5.1.dmg
        X11-2.5.3.dmg
        X11-2.6.0.dmg

X11-2.6.1.dmg is downloading... My final try, presumingly, will be package from Mac OS X install DVD.

There's something the technicians need to learn from the artists. If it isn't aesthetically pleasing, it's probably wrong.
