Does this happen when you invoke "emacs -Q"?

[gentoo-user] emacs font problem

2010-07-08 Thread Grant Edwards
Recently emacs (running in X "window" mode) seems to have developed a
font problem.

There are two cases where text displays as a mixture of filled and
unfilled rectangles:

 1) When the mouse pointer hovers over certain things a balloon pops
up containing nothing but black filled rectangles.

 2) When you select "About Emacs" from the Help menu, the logo renders
properly at the top of the screen, but the rest is blocks and
rectangles: http://www.panix.com/~grante/emacsabout.png

Normal editing is fine.

Google hasn't found anything except discussion of problems with
a misssing default font (the one used during editing), and I don't 
have any problems with that.

Any ideas?
