An ELC file is a compiled Emacs Lisp/ELisp or EL file. Get > the uncompiled version! In a GPL'ed OS it has to exist. Could be /etc/ > emacs23/site-start.d has the EL files as well... (GNU Emacs prefers to > load the byte-compiled variants: they're faster to load.) Yes, that's in /etc/emacs/site-start.d/ None of those are elc. Only mentioned the elc for completeness. Tried greping for a number of terms related to fonts, devices X, and so on. no hits. None of the names suggest anything related to fonts or X either :( but just moving the whole dir out of the way, does actually make a difference.

And as there are no error as such, no trace. Gaute
