What is the default font, as reported by `C-u C-x ='?

Also, could you do `EMACS_FONT_LOG=1 emacs -Q' and show the output of
M-x font-show-log?

I discussed this on emacs-devel at this link:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-10/msg00696.html

David De La Harpe Golden's analysis seems correct to me:

> No. but is it desirable to? If emacs says "monospace" to the OS, and

So, we should probably leave things as they are.  I'll add a note about
this to etc/PROBLEMS.

Sounds like bug #505, a bug with Debian's font packaging.

What do the following commands give?

$ xlsfonts *monospace*
$ xlsfonts -ll *monospace*

Also, does the following patch give better results?

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing 
list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:



The problem is shown in the image attached in this email.

These are the steps I've done:

1. rm -rf emacs

2. cvs -z3 -d:ext:viniciusjl@cvs.sv.gnu.org:/sources/emacs co emacs

3. ./configure --prefix=/home/download/emacs

4. make bootstrap

5. make install

6. rm -f ~/.Xresources

7. emacs -Q



If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/home/download/emacs/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
