Re: Emacs21.4a-6: characters display as empty boxes

Hi:

  I am running Debian Linux unstable on a Pc. I upgraded
  yesterday and ran
  into trouble with the xorg system. So I  had to remove x11-common,
  and dselect removed a lot of files. However I was able to recover.
  Now, Xemacs and all other programs seem to work OK, but emacs (in the
  X windows) opens up but all the characters show up as empty boxes.

   What packages have I fogotten to install? It does not appear to be
   an essential package, because emacs21 installed without any trouble.
   There was a report about a bug in font display, and suggesting the
   ipe package. I installed this and it made no difference.

   I have gdm as the display manager.

   The emacs packages I have installed are: emacs21-bin-common,
   emacsen-common, emacs21 emacs21-common and emnacs21-el.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Sebastian
