Hello Robert, |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Likely font-misc-misc was removed by "emerge --depclean" a while back |
| 21 |
and nothing went wrong until my workstation was restarted due to a |
| 22 |
power outage. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Yesterday morning I had installed font-misc-misc and added FontPath |
| 25 |
directives to xorg.conf. Yesterday evening I restarted X without any |
| 26 |
emacs behavior changes. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
This morning, as you suggested, I unmerged font-misc-misc and |
| 29 |
font-alias, emerged them, and restarted X. Now emacs is happy. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
As an experiment, I removed FontPath info from xorg.conf and the emacs |
| 32 |
font problem came back. Evidently my impression that xorg.conf no |
| 33 |
longer needed to have font information was wrong :-< |
| 34 |

Thanks for your continued assistance. It's much appreciated. |
