I think this is due to my resource setting: Emacs*font: neep-iso8859-15-14. (When I remove that setting, I get a correct splash screen in Helvetica.) The only text that does appear correctly in the splash screen is the small copyright line at the bottom. Emacs uses the font that I specified in the resource just fine in all buffers, except for the splash screen. I think Emacs should make sure that an available font is used for the splash screen, either the one that I specified in the resource, or a fallback. ------- End of forwarded message -------
