The problem is that X server thinks that it has > the font -etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--17-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1. Sorry, I don't understand your last sentence. If x-list-fonts returns nil, Emacs will not start at all, it prints the above error message and exits immediately (at least that's what happens on w32). So what problem happens on X due to the fact that ``X server thinks that it has the font -etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--17-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1''? Or does Emacs start on X even though x-list-fonts returns nil?
