Description Joshua Rich 2006-07-03 23:49:13 UTC

Programs/Packages Involved:
==================
Modular Xorg
CVS Emacs
Adobe Fonts (100 dpi)

Problem:
========
After the update to modular xorg, emacs would not load, returned error message:

"Could not find the font lucidasanstypewriter-14"

Emacs could run from a console/terminal, but not in it's own X window.

Installed xlsfonts, ran xlsfonts, and observed that the lucida fonts did not show up.  

Installed xset and ran xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/100dpi and xset fp rehash.  xlsfonts still showed no lucida fonts.  

Checked xorg log, no complaints of missing fonts from that directory (attached to bug report below).  According to http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/X11R6.9.0/doc/html/fonts2.html this font should be loaded with the "bitmap" module.  This module loads fine (see log below).

Ran fc-cache, mkfontdir, mkfontscale on /usr/share/fonts/100dpi.  Emacs still produces error.

Revdep-rebuild reported no libraries/programs needed to be rebuilt.

Downgraded back to Xorg version 6.8.  Restarted X and ran emacs.  Emacs loads fine and no errors occur.  Font is visible to this X version.

How To Reproduce:
=================

Add the following line to your .Xdefaults file:

emacs*font:                             lucidasanstypewriter-14

And reload (xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults).  Then run emacs.  Or specify the font from the command line with:

emacs -fn "lucidasanstypewriter-14"

Aha!  I missed installing those font packages.  Thankyou for the quick fix!
