[gentoo-user] emacs font problem

[Grant Edwards]

Recently emacs (running in X "window" mode) seems to have developed a
font problem.

There are two cases where text displays as a mixture of filled and
unfilled rectangles:

 1) When the mouse pointer hovers over certain things a balloon pops
    up containing nothing but black filled rectangles.

 2) When you select "About Emacs" from the Help menu, the logo renders
    properly at the top of the screen, but the rest is blocks and
    rectangles: http://www.panix.com/~grante/emacsabout.png

Normal editing is fine.

Google hasn't found anything except discussion of problems with
a misssing default font (the one used during editing), and I don't 
have any problems with that.

Any ideas?
