Ok. I'm stupid. The problem was the modification I did in /etc/sysconfig/i18n I revert it back to the original file and now everything is ok. At first it wasn't obvious to me that xemacs had a font problem. Sorry. Ok. What was the change you made in i18n for this to happen? I came across a similar problem recently on a box where xfs won't run for some reason. Perhaps xemacs should be build --without-xfs or something to avoid this kind of information. > What was the change you made in i18n for this to happen?
I momentarily changed the line
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
in /etc/sysconfig/i18n for
LANG="POSIX"
cause in RH9 it solved some font problems I had.
AB.
