I am having the same problem. This is a new laptop and I have switched from gentoo stable to gentoo testing so I can't be sure it is emacs. But I can say that I was using dejavu on 23.1 before the switch and now can't use dejavu on 23.2. As with qiang, xlsfonts finds as does my X log file (excerpt below). allan [ 44.421] (**) FontPath set to: /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/, /usr/share/fonts/misc/, /usr/share/fonts/TTF/, /usr/share/fonts/OTF/, /usr/share/fonts/Type1/, /usr/share/fonts/100dpi/, /usr/share/fonts/75dpi/
