Package: xfonts-base Version: 4.2.1-12.1 Severity: normal Followup-For: Bug #214449
I have managed to resolve this problem on my system. Here's a recount: I did an upgrade to testing yesterday and got this same problem: No bitmapped fonts available for emacs, xfontsel, xload, etc. All ttfonts are available, though, so terminals and mozilla, etc display properly. After many fruitless hours I suspected it was a locale issue (I've changed the locale of the system in the past). So I opened Control Center -> Region and Accessibility -> Country/Region & Language. There it shows Country: US Language: <No language> I changed Country to C/default and English came up in Language box. Since this change requires restarting KDE to take effect, I logged out and in again. Indeed the fonts are now available in Emacs. Afterwards I changed Country back to US/English and it still works. I cannot say that this is definitely the cause of the font problem: before trying this, I've tried installing, removing and reconfiguring several font-related packages, starting and stopping xfs and xfstt, etc, without logging out of KDE. So there is a chance one of these actions did the trick. There is a still a partial problem: the font in emacs appears to be quite large and ugly. It does not appear to be the same as what I had before.
