Yesterday I did the same with my notebook. If I start it with emacsclient -c -a "" the startup breaks with this message: *ERROR*: Font `-adobe-Helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-iso8859-15' is not defined No client shows up. If I start emacs the ordinary way, it starts but I get the error message in the mini buffer and no ttf fonts. The strange thing is both systems have the same setup. It is a current version of Debian/sid and the emacs configuration is syncronized via unison. The xft config is in my .Xdefaults and looks this way: Emacs.FontBackend: xft Emacs.font: DejaVu Sans Mono-11 Emacs.geometry:120x38 The fonts are definatly installed and I don't have any font setting in my emacs config. I found older bug reports with a similar problem, but it seemed to be fixed. It's also strange that it complains about a non ttf font. Has anybody a clue what to do? Thanks in advance Rainer
