Subject: bug#7853: 23.2; graphical Emacs chokes on fontname ending in a number
Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2011 15:15:55 +0000 (GMT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.21.1101171502340.10239-100000@starsky.19inch.net> (raw)

  "Emacs won't start, complaining about font ending in a number"

If a font name itself ends in a number then Emacs complains.  In this
case visibly-versioned beta builds have been named in the form
"X Y Z 111" and thus upon start-up Emacs will warn:

  Font `X Y Z 111 11' is not defined

The first number is part of the font name ('111'), and the second
number is the requested size ('11').

Seemingly it is possible to workaround the failure to by using "M-x
customized-face" after an initial --font monospace" invocation so it
seems to be an issue in the Emacs font name parsing code when
processing the name directly.
