Assuming you already verified that fonts are actually installed
$ yum list installed "xorg-x11-fonts-*"
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit
Installed Packages
xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi.noarch 7.2-6.fc9
xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi.noarch 7.2-6.fc9
xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi.noarch 7.2-6.fc9
xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi.noarch 7.2-6.fc9
xorg-x11-fonts-Type1.noarch 7.2-6.fc9
xorg-x11-fonts-misc.noarch 7.2-6.fc9
please run the following test for me:
1. Log in
2. Open gnome-terminal
3. run xemacs and verify that it fails like you described
Fails.
4. su, "service xfs restart"
xfs: unrecognized service
(No, I did not do anything here except religiously updating X and axing
xorg.conf when told so. And particularly, I did nothing specially X-related
during the great font handling overhaul.)
There is no xorg-x11-xfs installed here (and that used to work fine). On
another machine (a bit carelessly handled, sorry) what I have is
xorg-x11-xfs-1.0.5-3.fc10.x86_64, installed in July (legacy
leftover?). There I get:
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*" to
type FontStruct
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
5. run xemacs again
On the other machine with xfs I restarted that one, and starting xemacs
again gives me the message stated. There I have
xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi.noarch 7.2-6.fc9
xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi.noarch 7.2-6.fc9
xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi.noarch 7.2-6.fc9
xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi.noarch 7.2-6.fc9
xorg-x11-fonts-Type1.noarch 7.2-6.fc9
xorg-x11-fonts-misc.noarch 7.2-6.fc9
xorg-x11-fonts-truetype.noarch 7.2-4.fc9
If it still fails on step 5, it's not bug 430416. If it starts
working,
then the problem is that we fixed it in libraries somewhere (with
X server remaining broken), and perhaps your apps use old libraries.
Please let me know how it goes.
