I can't figure out how to fix this one - NOT for lack of trying, |
2 |
however. |
3 |
|
4 |
I'm slowly trying to become more terminal-friendly and less |
5 |
GUI-dependent. I also keep hearing how Emacs is so cool and powerful |
6 |
and useful and blah. So I decided to try and learn it and see for |
7 |
myself. |
8 |
|
9 |
Installed it on my Kubuntu desktop and it worked fine. On my Gentoo |
10 |
laptop... a whole other story. |

I have app-editors/emacs v21.4-r4 installed. I don't have xemacs or |
13 |
xemacs-base installed. This is probably applicable, so that's why I'm |
14 |
including it. |
15 |
|
16 |
When I use emacs I see the menus and all things X11, however, the editor |
17 |
shows nothing but those annoying blocks that signify some kind of |
18 |
problem with the font. I tried changing the fontset and stuff, but |
19 |
only succeeded in crashing X twice and then making the boxes smaller or |
20 |
larger and then crashing X. |

22 |
I looked though Portage and by a total miracle found media-fonts/ (was |
23 |
using Kuroo, which organizes things like media/fonts, so I didn't look |
24 |
in media/ for fonts, so I almost missed it). I installed a few fonts |
25 |
that I thought might rectify the situation, however, they didn't. |
26 |
|
27 |
What should I do to fix Emacs? I hear it's a very powerful and useful |
28 |
editor, and I would like to learn to use it (vi and/or its many |
29 |
variants is next on my list, so no emacs vs. vi wars please) so any |
30 |
assistance would be very helpful. |

Thanks for your time! |
