Hello emacs users,
I really need to solve this since it's a real annoying bug. Before I start
describing the problem, I'd like to state that I'm running emacs under
debian3.0(stable).
When I use emacs(emacs20-7), the window and the fonts are distorted at
times. After running some tests, I have figured out that this will occur
only after launching applications that use X. Some examples are launching
gkrellm and a java applet.

I haven't done anything to tweak X except for installing ttf and removing
xfonts100-dpi. Would reinstalling X solve this problem? If so, what specific
package(s) do I need to reinstall?
Any help or suggestion is very much appreciated.

Your hunch about fonts might be right. Depending on how you
specified the font for Emacs, changing the X font path might change
which font is found.
How about using a fully-qualified-font-name-with-lotsa-dashes? Don't
use wildcards in it.

Well,
Here's what my .Xresources and .Xdefautls look like:
emacs*font: lucidasanstypewritet-12
/etc/X11/XFree86Config-4 (just the font paths)
Section "Files"
FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server
# if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Truetype"
EndSection
As you can see, I'm not using any wild cards. Curiously enough, does a font
exist where it's double spaced like in the weird picture that I posted?

This is not a long-font-name-with-lotsa-dashes. Look in fonts.alias
(or font.aliases?) files for the long-font-name-with-lotsa-dashes
that's associated with this font.
You might also want to use xfontsel to see which other fonts might
be similar to this one.
