Emacs Fonts vs. F10
When I start emacs under F10 it displays everything in a very small font, and reports that it can't find any fonts. In particular running $ emacs --debug-init produces this line in the emacs message buffer: Warning: no fonts matching `-*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' available [2 times] while $ xfontsel -fn '-*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' works just fine. Attempting to change the font to anything using Options-Set Font/Fontsel... always seems to always provoke the message from emacs mouse-set-font: Font not found Does anyone know what's going on? It looks like the system is missing an rpm, but it's not obvious which one.

It looks like the system is missing an rpm, but it's not obvious which one. Emacs 22 (in F10) uses the legacy Xorg fonts, so you need to install those. Start with a yum install xorg-x11-fonts-misc and depending on what fonts you're wanting to use, you may need some of xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-14-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-14-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-15-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-15-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-2-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-2-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-9-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-9-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 xorg-x11-fonts-cyrillic.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ethiopic.noarch This is a packaging bug with Emacs. Alas the emacs package is presently unmaintained, but there's a few of us awaiting approval to take the package over, at which point the bug will get fixed. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469220 HTH Jonathan -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I searched for and found a bunch of font rpms not installed by default in order to get my emacs favorite fonts back. I don't know which of these I added, and which were already there, but here are all the xorg-x11-fonts packages I have installed: xorg-x11-font-utils-7.2-6.fc10.x86_64 xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi-7.2-6.fc9.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi-7.2-6.fc9.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi-7.2-6.fc9.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-misc-7.2-6.fc9.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi-7.2-6.fc9.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-Type1-7.2-6.fc9.noarch Note: You get really peculiar results after installing these until you restart X. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
