Thanks alot Andrew!! That fixed it!

One thought: Why isn't xorg-x11-fonts-misc a requirement for emacs, as
it doesn't start without it? Else, emacs default configuration should
change to some font which is installed by default.

Also, the emacs error was quite cryptical. WTF is "Font '8x13' "?

Thanks anyway!
