Something I upgraded a few weeks ago turned the fonts in emacs 21 (X11)

TIA,

Did you move to UTF-8 as your locale?
I'm not sure if I did but I just reconfigured locales and selected only
en_US ISO-8859-1.
Try installing all the X fonts
and see if the squares automagically turn back into letters.
I tried installing as many fonts as looked relevant when the problem
happened. Is there some particular package that installs all the xfonts.
I've had to do something similar on a machine displaying
Chinese/Japanese/Korean. Emacs' way of saying I can't display this font
is to put up a square box. In the right font, it automagically works :)
I knew what the square boxes mean. I just need to find the right font
or find where the wrong font is referenced by emacs21.
Thanks,
Paul
