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. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 137598 ***
