Thank you for this: downgrading emacs for me to 28.3 (F38) gets rid of the problem that I was having, and that is, that emacs 29.1 can not load a file for me (without emacs -Q). With emacs -Q in 29.1 (F39), I can load the file all right, but I do not have the correct fonts, and I can not seem to load those. I wonder why emacs users have not reported my issue with 29.1 on the emacs mailing list.
