Ran "yum install *x11*font*ISO8859*" It still segfaulted. I may try adding xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi-1.0.0-2 to my kickstart file & reinstalling. I restarted X. No go. I shut X down completely, and restarted it. That worked, and emacs worked correctly. The I removed all of the font packages except xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi.noarch, shut X down completely, and restarted it, i.e. back to the original configuration. I then fired up emacs with no .emacs. It worked. ?????? So maybe all we need to do is run "service xfs restart"? I'll make a fresh install and try that. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
