I just moved to a new apartment. When i restarted linux I got a message that the system hasn't been shut down properly, and that there were some bad inodes. When i tried to start emacs i got a message that it can't get any usable font, and it seg faulted. It worked fine before that. I tried to install xfs again, and i installed the last version of xemacs21 (i had the one before last) but it didn't help. The full error message i got: Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset
check the lost+found directory of whatever filesystem it was that was corrupted, if there are lots of files there I bet they are the missing fonts, though probably with the name being their inode number :(
I had some filesystem corruption on my old redhat box yesterday, parts of pam were moved to /lost+found and my /etc/rc.d/rc6.d was changed to a ordinary file and all its contents were orphaned to /lost+found. its a mess when this type of problem happens...
its probably easier to just reinstall the affected packages. Best Regards, Ethan Benson To obtain my PGP key: http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/pgp/
