Hi,
This is what Gnus does when a user clicks the mouse-3 on a MIME
part button in the article buffer:
(require 'gnus-art)
(popup-menu gnus-mime-button-menu)
I get a box that seems to be a menu but no text is displayed in it.
The issue arises on only Lucid Emacs (i.e., configured with the
`--with-x-toolkit=lucid' option). I tried GTK Emacs and verified
it works. Or do I miss something?

emacs -Q -l gnus-art
(popup-menu gnus-mime-button-menu)
works for me with a Lucid build of the current trunk.

Does it happen when you start emacs with -Q? Does it work with another font, i.e.
% emacs -Q -xrm 'Emacs*popup*font: fixed'
for example. What is your default font?

Uhm, I couldn't reproduce it today. The menu is displayed properly
with text. Now I'm in the office and use Emacs that I built Friday
on Cygwin under Windows XP. I'll try it again on Fedora 14 in home
about 14 hours later.

It works. But `emacs -Q', `emacs -q' and even `emacs' also work
today. :<
> What is your default font?
I don't know. I have no personal X resource in both the platforms
because I want Emacs that is vanilla as much as possible when
testing. Moreover some X resources conflict with XEmacs, IIRC.
So, all the fonts I use normally are set in the ~/.emacs file.
I seem to have no means to customize the menu font as for at least
Lucid Emacs, though (the font for the `menu' face doesn't seems to
be used for popup menus).
On Cygwin, I noticed the font used for the text varies by a way to
launch Emacs. The font looking like `fixed' is used for the popup
menu if I start Emacs from the command line in xterm, but the one
looking like Helvetica is used if I start Emacs from Cygwin's root
menu. On the analogy of this, I guess a font that doesn't provide
ASCII text is chosen for some reason when a popup menu is displayed
with no text.
Anyway the solution will probably be to have an X resource for
the default font. Any other thought?

I'm home. I verified it reproduces with the latest Emacs 24.0.90
(I built it minutes ago) on Fedora 14. Here's a screenshot:
http://www.jpl.org/tmp/Screenshot.png
This happens with `emacs -Q', but setting the `Emacs*popup*font'
resource with any font that provides ASCII characters solves it.
Though it might not be an Emacs bug, I suspect there's something
that leads Emacs to choose a wrong font when there's no X resource
for `Emacs*popup*font'.

Hello.
The font Emacs chooses can be one of three:
If you have Xft (antialiased fonts) and one of Xsettings/Gsettings/GConf
it chooses the normal font for your desktop. You can see what it is by
calling the lisp function font-get-system-font.
Otherwise, it uses Sans-10 if you have Xft, or the default Xt font if not.

Thanks. (font-get-system-font) returns "Monospace 10" in both
Cygwin and Fedora 14. But `popup-menu' shows text in a menu on
Cygwin currently whereas it doesn't on Fedora 14. Is there another
way to test them?
I'm sorry for the lazy response. (I wish I could use the both
systems in the office and home. Well, maybe I should have Cygwin
in home as well...)

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)
I briefly tried to reproduce this problem in Emacs 29, but seem to be
unable to. Are you still seeing this issue in recent Emacs versions?

Though I'm unable to try it again now instantly (as I no longer
use the Lucid Emacs), I believe the problem has gone away early
in this decade, and I verified no such a problem to be in the
recent GTK Emacs.
Thank you for following it up.
