Description of problem: After upgrading to FC5 and FE5, xemacs is giving me a warning about missing charsets in fontset whenever it is started in a utf8 locale. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xemacs-21.4.19-3.fc5 xemacs-sumo-20051208-2 How reproducible: every time in UTF-8 locale Steps to Reproduce: 1. run "xemacs -vanilla" Actual results: Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset Expected results: No warnings. Additional info: This seems to break things like ediff that use a separate frame.
This was already implied, but I forgot to add that the warning doesn't seem to occur when xemacs is run in a legacy native locale. Also I have the following fonts installed: bitmap-fonts-0.3-5.1 bitstream-vera-fonts-1.10-5.1 fonts-arabic-1.5-5 fonts-bengali-1.10-2.1 fonts-chinese-3.02-4.1 fonts-gujarati-1.10-2.1 fonts-hebrew-0.100-4.1 fonts-hindi-1.10-2.1 fonts-japanese-0.20050222-11.1 fonts-korean-1.0.11-9.1 fonts-punjabi-1.10-2.1 fonts-tamil-1.10-2.1 xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi-7.0-3 xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi-7.0-3 xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi-7.0-3 xorg-x11-fonts-Type1-7.0-3 xorg-x11-fonts-base-7.0-3 xorg-x11-fonts-misc-7.0-3

I saw that warning when I was following Rawhide during the FC5 test releases, but it just disappeared here after installing FC5 final from scratch. Did you install from scratch or upgrade from something earlier? My $LANG is en_US.UTF-8 and the font packages I have installed are: bitmap-fonts-0.3-5.1 bitstream-vera-fonts-1.10-5.1 ghostscript-fonts-5.50-13.1 urw-fonts-2.3-6.1 xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi-7.0-3 xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi-7.0-3 xorg-x11-fonts-base-7.0-3 xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi-7.0-3 xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi-7.0-3 xorg-x11-fonts-misc-7.0-3 xorg-x11-fonts-truetype-7.0-3 xorg-x11-fonts-Type1-7.0-3 Not everything seems to be ok with fonts though; non-ASCII characters such as "ä" from my surname are larger in buffers than ASCII ones.
Could you try the packages built with gcc 3.2 at http://koti.welho.com/vskytta/xemacs/ and let me know if they make any difference? At least they fix the non-ASCII-chars-are-bigger-than-ASCII problem for me.
I'm afraid it is the same for me with your 21.4.19-4 package on my upgraded i386 box.
Do you see the other symptoms mentioned in bug 180284: does xfontsel print the warning too, and does xfs consume all cpu for a while when starting up xemacs/xfontsel?
Jens, have you seen any of these issues with 21.5.x or later than FC5?
No I think this is fixed now - thanks.
