Hello, If I install from DVD manually (i.e. creating partitions and selecting software by hand etc...) emacs within X works fine. However, if I use my autoinstall script to install SuSE over NFS, emacs starts ok in X, but each character is replaced with a square/rectangle. Also, the following is printed to either stdout or stderr: ============================================================ stg-opti2:~ # emacs Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct stg-opti2:~ # ============================================================ As I said, emacs works fine if I install manually. Am I simply missing some packages, or has something more serious happened here? I have typed "xlsfonts | grep helv" and nothing is returned, but if I look in the Font Installer within YaST the fonts do appear to exist. Whether they are strictly the correct ones or not is a different matter though. Any clues are very much appreciated :-) Thanks again, Richard. -- Richard Hobbs (Systems Administrator) Toshiba Research Europe Ltd. - Speech Technology Group Web: http://www.toshiba-europe.com/research/ Normal Email: richard.hobbs@crl.toshiba.co.uk Mobile Email: mobile@mongeese.co.uk Tel: +44 1223 376964 Mobile: +44 7811 803377 _____________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for viruses by Verizon Business Internet Managed Scanning Services - powered by MessageLabs.
