I'm running fedora 11. Can anyone explain why emacs won't start ? If I do this: $ /usr/bin/emacs I get in response: Font `-Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--12-120-75-75-M-70-ISO8859-1' is not defined However, if I then do this: $ /usr/bin/emacs -fn '-Adobe-Courier-Medium-R-Normal--12-120-75-75-M-70-ISO8859-1' then emacs starts just fine. I've reinstalled both emacs and xorg-x11-fonts-misc Can anyone explain what's going on? What package might I be missing?
I don't know what your problem is, but I have seen your thread in help-gnu-emacs, and the only thing I have to suggest is "use emacs 23". I was also having lots of little problems with the default emacs build for F11. Finally I gave up, and gave in to my temptation to try out emacs 23.
Just do 'yum remove emacs' and then 'yum install emacs --enablerepo=rawhide', you wont regret it. Everything is so awesome in emacs 23 ... can't rave enough.
