Re: xemacs crashes on startup

On a different version of SuSE, SLES 11 sp3 (or something)!? -- When I try to start XEmacs I get warnings about the missing FontSet conversion before it crashes. By changing .Xresources to override the default app settings I managed to avoid the crash. Below is the part of the app defaults that I replaced with other settings (I'm not on that machine now so I can't tell you now what font specification I choose. I did use xfontsel to find out a font specification that would find a font so maybe that technique will work for you.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- *menubar*Font: -*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* *popup*Font: -*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* *menubar*FontSet: -*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*, \ -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-iso10646-1, \ -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-jisx0208.1983-0, \ -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-jisx0201.1976-0 *popup*FontSet: -*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*, \ -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-iso10646-1, \ -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-jisx0208.1983-0, \ -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-jisx0201.1976-0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Maybe equipped with this info those who know these font stuff can come up with a better work around!? ;-) On the SLES machine I build XEmacs 21.5 from sources, but using -with-xft, and then I have not experienced any problems with initial crashes.
