Description John Simmonds (overfuse) 2009-04-06 15:03:39 UTC

I am loading emacs,GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.14.7),
from ebuild app-editors/emacs-22.3-r1.

When I load it I get warnings in the messages buffer about missing fonts.

I have tried to look for possible missing font packages but don't seem to be missing any. 

I think other GNU/Linux distributions have this issue, check out a bug for this at RedHat:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469220

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load emacs
2. Look at the "* Messages * *" in Buffers

Actual Results:  
Warning: no fonts matching `-*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' available [2 times]
Warning: no fonts matching `-*-*-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' available
Warning: no fonts matching `-*-*-*-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' available
Warning: no fonts matching `-*-*-*-*-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' available
Warning: no fonts matching `-*-*-*-*-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' available [2 times]
("emacs")

Expected Results:  
No warnings about missing fonts.

See bug 137598 comment #4.

It depends on your configuration of course, but normally media-fonts/font-adobe-{75,100}dpi are sufficient to fulfil basic font requirements of Emacs. Which you should have, since they are dependencies of the X server.
