Maybe it is something with the fonts: I can start emacs when specifying a font, e.g.
emacs -fn fixed emacs -fn lucida emacs -fn courier However, the font is very small and the initial window width is large. I can then manually set a larger font, e.g. with (set-face-font 'default "-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--14-130-75-75-C-70-ISO8859-1"). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/684613 Title: emacs crashes with "Arithmetic error" -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
