I am on etch using gnome. I receive the following error Quote: (xim-xlib/warning) Can't get fontset resource for Input Method I have checked the options in emacs the best I can ( I am still learning emacs ) they do all appear to be okay. They are currently all set to default values. I installed xutils package and xfonts package was already installed. Any ideas on what to do next ? PS I tried setting the .emacs file to have Quote: (global-font-lock-mode 1) but this only creates further error Quote: (initialization/error) An error has occurred while loading / home/flebber/.xemacs/init.el: Symbol's function definition is void: global-font-lock- mode I have ended up with 2 emacs installed Xemacs which this error is coming from and emacs21 which cannot even render fonts. Am only learning emacs, well trying too am getting most of info from here http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs-faq.text . Not sure which is better to use xemacs or emacs21 ( am only using Xemacs as emacs21 cannot render fonts)
