I see that too. I guess it just does not bother me too much as I keep using simply the default font. It appears the fonts listed in the menu in question are an old generation Xwindow fonts which are apparently being obsoleted. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping I was just logging in to report this bug.
You can solve it by installing this package:
xorg-x11-fonts-misc
I think this package should be on the deplist for emacs (in the repositories _and_ in the installation dvd).
It was also not on the deplist for emacs in Fedora 8 (my last version), but it was installed on my machine anyways (perhaps on the deplist of something else, or installed by default) and so I hadn't seen the problem before.
Yes, the emacs package needs to have a Requires for the xorg font server and fonts i.e. Requires: xorg-x11-xfs and also some subset (or all) of: xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-14-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-14-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-15-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-15-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-2-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-2-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-9-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-9-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 xorg-x11-fonts-cyrillic.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ethiopic.noarch (In reply to comment #5) > i.e. Requires: xorg-x11-xfs Why? xfs is deprecated in Fedora AFAIK. > xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi This is already required. > and also some subset (or all) of: Not all anyway, I would suggest. Maybe adding xorg-x11-fonts-misc is a good idea. (In reply to comment #6) > (In reply to comment #5) > > i.e. Requires: xorg-x11-xfs > > Why? xfs is deprecated in Fedora AFAIK. That maybe so, but Emacs 22.x still needs it - without it installed, Emacs returns an error message when changing fonts "can't contact server". install xfs, and it works.. Emacs 23 doesn't need xfs. I can change fonts just fine with emacs-22.2.1 as in F9 and without xfs installed. (In reply to comment #8) > I can change fonts just fine with emacs-22.2.1 as in F9 and without xfs > installed. Yes, for me too on F-9. I noticed that message on F-10 yesterday, but am away from that machine right now. Perhaps xfs is unneeded then, I will check on the F10 machine later. $ rpm -qR emacs|grep font libfontconfig.so.1 xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi I've had to yum -y install xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi to make Emacs fonts choices work. (Options > Set Font/Fontset > Courier > 18 bold, for example). Else I would get "Font not found" inside Emacs. The Fedora version needs to be bumped to 11 on this bug. (Or added in addition.)
Once again, the fonts in the Emacs fonts menu were missing, and installing this package resolved the issue:
xorg-x11-fonts-misc
Still seems like a dependency bug to me.
OK, adding xorg-x11-fonts-misc to dependencies emacs-22.3-13.fc11 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 11. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/emacs-22.3-13.fc11 emacs-22.3-5.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/emacs-22.3-5.fc10 Do we really need xorg-x11-fonts-misc dependency for emacs-23.0.93-4.fc12? I think this fix is needed only for old type emacs before emacs-22. Emacs-23 can use fontconfig and bitmap fonts are not required now. (In reply to comment #15) > Emacs-23 can use fontconfig and bitmap fonts are not required now. Good point - it should only be required for emacs-22. (In reply to comment #16) > (In reply to comment #15) > > Emacs-23 can use fontconfig and bitmap fonts are not required now. > > Good point - it should only be required for emacs-22. OK, I will change this emacs-22.3-13.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
