You can either install one, or set the X resources for *menubar*fontset and *dialog*fontset to some font that you do have. The crash is due to a bug in X; it's crashing while attempting to query the server for the font. So attempting to check for the font will cause the crash. If this turns out to be the problem, I suggest you complain to the vendor. The Helvetica fonts by Adobe are free and come with the publically released X11R6 distribution. There's no excuse for not having them. Alternatively, on systems that provide Helvetica-like fonts (most obviously, MS Arial), it should be possible to alias Helvetica to such a system font. Please direct further correspondence to xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org, or the newsgroup comp.emacs.xemacs. I'll answer where I have time, but if you send to the mailing list or newsgroup, there are many people who are competent to help with this kind of question and you are likely to get a much faster response. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
