I reported strange things with emacs earlier, but I thought it might be something wrong with my partially configured system.
Nope, it is just plain busted. I've added this bug report:
I don't have that problem myself, using also X11.
Do you have it also running "emacs -Q" (I don't) ?
I'm using also (not with -Q of course) a legacy terminus font, declared in ~/.Xdefaults as:
*Font: -*-terminus-medium-*-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1 *font: -*-terminus-medium-*-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
Install first the terminus-fonts-legacy-x11 RPM.
I guess I'll have to try building from the fedora 38 source rpm on fedora 39 and see if I can get a working emacs that way.
You can also try to downgrade with:
dnf --releasever=38 downgrade emacs
dnf accept this, emacs (28.3) starts properly.
