Unfortunately, the naming syntax for X bitmap fonts is different from
the syntax for Xft fonts. I suspect that something in your
configuration is using one syntax, but XEmacs is built to expect the
other.
So, three questions:
What options did you give the "configure" script, if any?
The configuration process creates a file called Installation in the top
of your XEmacs source tree. Please look in that file for the "Window
System" section, and let us know if there are any references to
fontconfig or fonts in general.
Do you have any Emacs Lisp or other customizations (e.g., an .Xresources
file) that sets the default font? If not, please check your custom.el
(usually $HOME/.xemacs/custom.el) for a call to custom-set-faces, e.g.,
(custom-set-faces
'(default ((t (:size "14pt" :family "Fixed"))) t)
[...]
'(modeline ((t (:background "lightgray"))) t "background needs to be
non-white if 3D modeline is disabled"))
