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

I would first like to note that I really like the work being done on
fonts in the currnt development sources.

My ~/.Xresources contains the following related to emacs:
Emacs*foreground: white
Emacs*background: black
Emacs*FontBackend: xft, x

Emacs was run as follows.

EMACS_FONT_LOG=1 emacs -Q -fn "DejaVu Sans Mono:size=15"
M-x list-faces-display

fixed-pitch is showing up as boxes.  `C-u C-x =' on one of these
displays the following:

        character: a (97, #o141, #x61)
preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV))
       code point: 0x61
           syntax: w 	which means: word
         category: a:ASCII graphic characters 32-126 (ISO646 IRV:1983[4/0])
		   l:Latin r:Japanese roman
      buffer code: #x61
        file code: #x61 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
          display: no font available

Character code properties are not shown: customize what to show

Here is a `help-face' button labeled `abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'.


There are text properties here:
  auto-composed        t
  button               (t)
  category             help-face-button
  face                 fixed-pitch
  help-args            (fixed-pitch)
  read-face-name       fixed-pitch

[back]

This face is especially important because it appears in the Emacs splash
page displayed to first time users.

Here are the contents of my font log:

Yes, this still happens.  The recipe has changed a little, since -Q now
diables the splash screen.  I do the following:

EMACS_FONT_LOG=1 emacs -q -no-site-file -fn "DejaVu Sans Mono:size=15"

I have attached the result of a recent invocation of M-x font-show-log.
A picture is also attached.

My configure invocation has not changed since the last time.  I am
running the Debian unstable GNU/Linux distribution.

I am happy to give more debugging information if you can give me a place
to start.  I am well acquainted with running emacs in gdb.

bug#505: 23.0.60; Font for fixed-pitch not resolved

[Chong Yidong]

Let's try something.

Could you apply the following patch and try running again?  Does the
problem still occur?  Is any error message issued to the console?

Actually, the last patch I sent you is bad.  Could you try using this
one instead, and see if the problem goes away?

If the error disappears, we'll probably need to use gdb to find out what
x_error_message is.  (The last patch I sent doesn't compile because
x_error_message is static to xterm.c.)

It does not go away.  Before I added the patch I tried inserting a
breakpoint on the x_clear_errors line.  Emacs never reached that line.
I then made the patch and ran again, in case you were testing something
different.  In each case, the behavior is as I described in the bug
report.

How about the call to x_had_errors_p earlier, on line xfont.c:536?  Is
there any effect if we ignore the error by calling x_clear_errors and
not resetting xfont to NULL?

  xfont = XLoadQueryFont (display, name);
  if (x_had_errors_p (display))
    {
      /* This error is perhaps due to insufficient memory on X server.
	 Let's just ignore it.  */
      x_clear_errors (display);
      xfont = NULL;
    }

No.  Once again, emacs never enters this block.

That's strange.

You reported, earlier, that your font log displays the following:

 sort-by: -unknown-Monospace-normal-normal-normal-*-15-*-iso8859-1
   x:-unknown-monospace-medium-r-normal--*-0-0-c-0-iso8859-1
   x:open failed: -unknown-monospace-medium-r-normal--15-*-0-0-c-0-iso8859-1

As far as I can tell, the error message comes from the following line in
xfont.c:601

  if (! xfont)
    {
      font_add_log ("  x:open failed", build_string (name), Qnil);
      return Qnil;
    }

Could you set a breakpoint here and see if that's indeed where the error
message is issued?

Yes, it is.  The calls to XLoadQueryFont on lines 535 and 563 both
return NULL.  The first time it is called with
"-unknown-monospace-medium-r-normal--15-*-0-0-c-0-iso8859-1", and the
second time with
""-unknown-monospace-medium-r-normal--15-*-*-*-c-0-iso8859-1".  However,
even though XLoadQueryFont returns NULL, x_had_errors_p(display) is
false afterwards both times.

bug#505: 23.0.60; Font for fixed-pitch not resolved

[Chong Yidong]

Interesting.  Okay, let's try something else (thanks for bearing with
me).

Could you save the following program in a file called, say, foo.c, then
compile it, run it, and show me the output (if any)?

cyd: ~ $ gcc foo.c -lX11 -o foo
cyd: ~ $ ./foo

Here's the program:

#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <X11/X.h>
#include <X11/Xatom.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>


int main ()
{
  int i, limit, num_fonts;
  char **names;
  Display *display = XOpenDisplay (NULL);
  char *pattern = "-unknown-Monospace-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1";

  for (limit = 512; ; limit *= 2)
    {
      names = XListFonts (display, pattern, limit, &num_fonts);
      if (num_fonts < limit)
	break;
      XFreeFontNames (names);
    }

  for (i = 0; i < num_fonts; i++)
    {
      XFontStruct *font;
      unsigned long value;

      printf ("%s\n", names[i]);
      font = XLoadQueryFont (display, names[i]);
      if (! font)
	continue;
      if (XGetFontProperty (font, XA_FONT, &value))
	{
	  char *name = (char *) XGetAtomName (display, (Atom) value);
	  int len = strlen (name);
	  if (len > 0)
	    printf("  %s\n", name);
	}
    }

  return 0;
}

Do you know what filename these fonts would normally be distributed as?
I may want to figure out if I have a corrupted install of some fonts.

Try grepping through the various fonts.dir files in the subdirectories
of /usr/share/fonts/X11.  The exact location may depend on your
distribution.  Does

  -unknown-monospace-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-1

and other similar entries show up in any of the fonts.dir files?

Plenty of -fixed-, but not a -monospace- to be seen.

What do you get from grepping for monospace in your fonts.dir files?

Nothing either.  Where is xlsfonts getting its information from?  This
is very strange.

Maybe a good place to ask for help is a mailing list for your
distribution, if you're confident that the font files are not bungled by
a local change.  Which distribution are you using?

There can be more font directories than those.  Use xset q to see your
current font path.

You are correct.  It was coming from
/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType/fonts.dir

Monospace.ttf -unknown-monospace-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-1

Here's the interesting thing about these.  XListFonts will come back
with this list.  XListFontsWithInfo will not.  I do not, as yet, know
why.

I suggest filing a bug in the Debian bug tracker, against x-ttcid-font.
Could you do that?

Based on the emacs-devel thread, I did some further diagnosis.  The
Monospace.ttf font did seem to come from ttf-georgewilliams.  It
actually wasn't in the ttf-georgewilliams package, but must have been at
one point in time.  I removed ttf-georgewilliams (at least for now), and
tried in vain to get defoma to forget about it using "normal" means, but
failed.  I eventually was reduced to doing a M-x grep-find on
ttf-georgewilliams in the /var/lib/defoma directory.  I then went to
every instance in any file and deleted it manually from those files.  I
then ran defoma-reconfigure.  After restarting X, everything works fine
again.
