[Bug: 21.5-b28] Crash on loading file

ncph58j02(a)sneakemail.com writes: This is almost certainly an X server configuration issue: you have no legacy (bitmap) fonts available. XEmacs cannot even display an error message in the frame in that case; there's no real point in continuing. You have a few options. (1) As an immediate workaround, you can run XEmacs in a terminal with xemacs -nw. (2) Install legacy fonts (not recommended unless you want to help support users who don't have access to Xft yet). (3) Configure XEmacs with Xft support. Gentoo being Gentoo, there's probably a USE flag for this. If not, add something like --with-xft=emacs,menus,tabs,gauges to the configure options you use. This is not how I would expect XEmacs to crash in this case (usually the abort is in Xlib's default error handler). Please try (1) and (3) at least, and let us know if they solve your problem. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
