Re: Emacs-20.5 refuses to start under X (further information)

[Andreas Tille <tillea@rki.de>]

Hello,

I have a new idea about the reason of my Emacs-Problem which might
be a problem with Fonts.  I have installed the packages

libxfont-xtt                                    install
xfs-xtt                                         install
xfstt                                           install

which was suggested to beautify Netscape Navigator.
Now I detected the second program which doesn't start and strace
ends with a font problem.  Here I repeat the Emcs end.

~> strace emacs
read(4, "\1\2\265\0\0\0\0\0\24\0@\3\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0"..., 32) = 32
writev(4, [{"1\0\20\0\n\0007\0", 8}, {"-Misc-Fixed-bold-R-Normal-*-15-1"..., 55}, {"\0", 1}], 3) = 64
read(4, 0xbfffe06c, 32)                 = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
select(5, [4], NULL, NULL, NULL

Also the dictionary Browser ding, which is TCL/TK based refuses to start.

~> strace ding
read(4, "\1\372\36\0\0\0\0\0\243\243\243\243\243\243\0\0\243\243"..., 32) = 32
writev(4, [{"1\0\v\0\20\'$\0", 8}, {"-*-Helvetica-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*"..., 36}], 2) = 44
read(4, 0xbfffe19c, 32)                 = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
select(5, [4], NULL, NULL, NULL

In both cases are missing fonts the reason.  Could someone please give me
a hint how to catch the problem.  Which package could be responsible?
What information do you need to help me out here?

Kind regards

        Andreas.
