24 What is the output of 'xlsfonts | grep 8x13' command? If it does not find 8x13
25 as well then check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/X11/fs/config.
26
27 Or try not to use xfs if you do not need it (it is not needed on standard
28 desktop configuration). I'm not using xfs and emacs works fine after update to
29 xorg-server 1.5.3. You can remove entire 'Section "Files"' from your
30 xorg.conf I guess. However if it will not work for you, try to add 'FontPath
31 "/usr/share/fonts/misc"' line to section Files.
