Hi,
when i started emacs,
This error came

there is no code for setting the default font.
earlier the following code was there.

;;set the default font to fontset 16 dot .
(set-default-font
 "-sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-120-100-100-c-80-iso8859-1")


No i have removed the code from .emacs.
even then this error is coming,
What is the reason?
and how to fix it?
rgds,
Anand

Install the specified font. Or specify an existing font.

Hi,
Thanks,
Earlier in my .emacs i had set the font by putting the code like this.
> (set-default-font
>  "-sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-120-100-100-c-80-iso8859-1")
I wanted small size so i tried to change 16 to 13.
But this gave error while byte compiling,
error was
> error: Font 
> `-sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-100-100-c-80-iso8859-1' is not 
> defined 
agreed.(true)
so i reverted back to 16.
But then it gave the  same error.
I am not setting the default font ( i have removed the code itself),


But some where in my .emacs file, there seems to be code of setting the 
default font to
-sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-100-100-c-80-iso8859-1

this is am not able find it in my .emacs file.

It can be an X resource, and it can be also a default setting from  
inside GNU Emacs, i.e., its Lisp core.

Check with xfontsel what your system has, then make a choice and tell  
GNU Emacs to use your choice.

We have to expect it, otherwise we would be surprised.

Hi,

try starting Emacs like this:

  emacs --debug-init

...it should go into debug mode as soon as the error happens, thus maybe
pointing you in the right direction.

Your problem seems to stem from this action. Delete .emacs.elc to
solve it.
