Package: emacs-common
Version: 1:26.1+1-3.3
Severity: minor
The emacs man page says:
-fn font, --font=font
Set the Emacs window's font to that specified by font.
You will find the various X fonts in the
/usr/lib/X11/fonts directory. Note that Emacs will only
accept fixed width fonts. Under the X11 Release 4 font-
naming conventions, any font with the value "m" or "c"
in the eleventh field of the font name is a fixed width
font. Furthermore, fonts whose name are of the form
widthxheight are generally fixed width, as is the font
fixed. See xlsfonts(1) for more information.
At least the path /usr/lib/X11/fonts is wrong. According to
strace: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
I don't know whether this is specific to Debian...
FYI, I had reported this bug in 2009 for older versions:
