Usually I just use the text terminal, but for a project I had to get X forwarding working so that I could use a GUI debugger. I used the instructions here: http://www.math.umn.edu/systems_guide/putty_xwin32.html I started with x-win32 and that worked for both the debugger and Emacs, but I wasn't getting the license code I needed to run for longer than half an hour quickly enough, so I installed XMing for the time being. That worked fine for the debugger, but every time I tried to run Emacs I got "Font '9x15' is not defined." I finally got the license code for X-Win32 and uninstalled XMing, but I'm still getting the font error, even though it had worked before. Can anyone tell me what went wrong? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/X-forwarding-emacs-with-XMing-tp31189122p31189122.html Sent from the Emacs - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
