[opensuse] OpenSUSE emacs broken out of the box
Hi, I've upgraded from SuSE 10.1 to OpenSuse 10.2 and have everything working apart from the X11 version of emacs. Attempting to run it I get: 18:36 >emacs -q 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 The whole emacs display is then full of boxes instead of the usual text. If I run with my .emacs it's usually enough to segfault emacs. I did a bit of digging with Google and found the following message: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-autoinstall/2006-02/msg00071.html But was unable to glean anything from it. I have pretty much all the fonts installed and everything else seems to be displaying fine. Grepping over /etc/ and /usr/share didn't seem to show anything setup to refer to this font descriptor. A strings on the emacs binary seems to show this is a default config. I did find some mentiones of .Xdefaults and .Xresources on the net but nothing that seemed to make any difference. Besides shoudn't any config magic for emacs be part of the emacs-x11 package so it runs out of the box? As suggested looking at the referenced email I tried looking at how many fonts where installed:
xlsfonts | wc -l 657
However greping for helv or cour didn't show any up. Can anybody offer any light? Is it just me and some artifact of the upgrade or is emacs broken? -- Alex, homepage: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!"

Also on an upgrade from 10.1 (SLED10 actually, but I doubt if that's relevant), and I can't reproduce it. emacs -q works perfectly here. I suspect there is a dependency missing

Hmmm - I have pretty much all the font packages installed: okra:/etc/X11/xinit # rpm -qa | grep "font" xorg-x11-libfontenc-7.2-12 intlfonts-ttf-1.2.1-234 ghostscript-fonts-std-8.15.3-24 xorg-x11-fonts-core-7.2-14 fonttools-2.0b1-277 fontforge-20061014-15 fontconfig-devel-2.4.1-19 ghostscript-fonts-other-8.15.3-24 freefont-0.20060718-28 free-ttf-fonts-1.0-195 intlfonts-bdf-1.2.1-234 fonts-config-20061025-11 xorg-x11-libfontenc-devel-7.2-12 xorg-x11-fonts-devel-7.2-8 fontconfig-2.4.1-19 xorg-x11-fonts-7.2-14 bpg-fonts-0.20050518-36 But there is obviouosly a discrepancy. Although I fail to understand why everything else is rendering fine. Having said that I commented out most of the FontPath lines from my xorg.conf because X insisted it couldn't find them: FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc" # FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local" # FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi" # FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled" # FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi" # FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled" # FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID" # FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo" # FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1" # FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype" # FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/uni:unscaled" It didn't seem to affect the rendering of every other app I'm using (in lovely anti-aliased smooth glory). Could this be a difference between everything else rendering locally and emacs? I have had the lines uncommented though - but it didn't make any difference as X11 didn't see them anyway. -- Alex, homepage: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ To the best of my recollection, Senator, I can't recall. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Incidentally, other apps don't care, because they don't use X fonts, they use client side font rendering -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

They where commented out because of the following warning from X: Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local, removing from list!
