That worked; after installing the euro-support* packages I have no further problems. Thanks!

On the console, Emacs is doing just fine. But when I try to start emacs from inside Gnome, I get the message No fonts match `-*-*-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15' Where lies the problem? Thanks, Andreas. Does the following command return anything? xlsfonts -fn '-*-*-medium-r-normal--14-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15' XEmacs is picking the default charset based on your locale, which is probably being set to [EMAIL PROTECTED] by gnome (it's the LANG environment variable). iso8859-15 is iso8859-1 with the euro symbol added. Installing "euro-support-x" or changing your LANG setting should fix it. -- Steve Dunham http://www.cse.msu.edu/~dunham
