After installing it and restarting > xfs, the problem is still present. Any other ideas? What is the output of 'xlsfonts | grep 8x13' command? If it does not find 8x13 as well then check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/X11/fs/config. Or try not to use xfs if you do not need it (it is not needed on standard desktop configuration). I'm not using xfs and emacs works fine after update to xorg-server 1.5.3. You can remove entire 'Section "Files"' from your xorg.conf I guess. However if it will not work for you, try to add 'FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc"' line to section Files. Robert -- Robert Cernansky E-mail: hslis...@zoznam.sk Jabber: h...@jabber.sk
