Package: emacs21
Version: 21.4a+1-3
Severity: important

I started emacs from shell and menu.  Alas, I get many boxes.  This kind
of funny application behavior is the typical situation when correct font
is not available. Is this intended thing under en_US.UTF-8 locale?  I
thought etch was UTF-8 as default.

Since gvim start without problem here, I think default behavior of emacs
deserves a bit better support. (I think issue is default font selection.)

FYI: xemacs from menu does not even start from menu.  From shell,
xemacs has interesting message under the same condition:
