Package: emacs21
Version: 21.4a+1-3
Severity: important
I started emacs from shell and menu. Alas, I get many boxes. This kind
of funny application behavior is the typical situation when correct font
is not available. Is this intended thing under en_US.UTF-8 locale? I
thought etch was UTF-8 as default.
Since gvim start without problem here, I think default behavior of emacs
deserves a bit better support. (I think issue is default font selection.)
FYI: xemacs from menu does not even start from menu. From shell,
xemacs has interesting message under the same condition:
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
