After updating, I still received the "Unable to load any usable iso8859 font" error. I decided to uninstall *all* X11 related packages from my system, and then reinstall a new X.org installation by selecting just those things I knew I would need (e.g. fonts) and things I'd want (e.g. emacs-X11, xterm, etc.). I did exactly that and it seems to have worked. I no longer get the "Unable to load any usable iso8859 font" error when trying to start xterm. On a side note, during this process it became apparent that the plain emacs package depends on xemacs-emacs-common which depends on xemacs which depends on a bunch of X.org stuff. This seems to imply that you can no longer install emacs without also installing X. This doesn't seem right, but to be honest, I can't remember if, prior to the major X.org update, installing emacs without X worked because I've always used them both.

Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-lucida-medium-r-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct
A solution to this problem from the Oracle Installer on AIX was to add the -fp path to XWIN in startxwin.bat as follows. %RUN% XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error - fp "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF,/usr/X11R6/lib/ X11/fonts/Type1,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/mis c,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/util" It may not be the only solution, though it looks like a "defect" in startxwin.bat as I am pretty sure I had this working in a previous version without modification.

Maybe we have an exploit on our systems. Or possibly we have the same video driver? Or same network card. Etc. I'll gather together what hardware I've got and we can compare.
