Subject: error on start-up: font not defined
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2009 18:57:54 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AAECA72.4050103@mousecar.com> (raw)

Just compiled emacs v.23.1.1 and, testing, ran src/emacs -q

Got the following error:

Font `---regular-R-Normal--15------ISO8859-1' is not defined

However, if I do

src/emacs -q -fn '-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--12-*-*-*-c-90-iso8859-1'

and minor variants in the font specification, emacs loads okay.


What's the problem...?  Anybody know?

# uname -srvmpio
Linux 2.6.18-128.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 21 10:44:23 EST 2009 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux


Thanks.
