Package: xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-11
After upgrading from xfree86 4.2.1-6 to xfree86 4.2.1-11 (during an
apt-get upgrade), I have encountered font problems with various X
packages. For example, running xcalc from a terminal results in the
following error message:
Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-symbol-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*"
to type FontStruct
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
Segmentation fault
I receive a similar error from gv (with a different font listed) and
xfontsel (no font listed), and other X programs.
xdm also starts up with a much bigger login dialog box than before.
If I run the following command, then I no longer get the errors:
xset -fp /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
However, I don't see why I should have to do that. Here is a dump of
'xset q' (before doing the above path removal):

Okay. Thank you very much for following up!
If the problem recurs, you can of course file a new bug report.
Closing as unreproducible per submitter.
