Xorg 7 has broken GNU Emacs

Hi, I've upgraded to Xorg 7 and now GNU Emacs doesn't display fonts.

[ale@ale ~]$ emacs
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct

Here's what I see:

Thanks in advance for any help.

Have you changed your fonts directories in xorg.conf ???

Re: Xorg 7 has broken GNU Emacs

Yes, I did:

FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/misc/"
FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/TTF/"
FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/Type1/"
FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/CID/"
FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/"
FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/"
FontPath   "/usr/share/fonts/local/"

You should install one of the xorg-fonts-75dpi or 100dpi packages and restart your X server or make sure it gets notified with updated fonts in another way.
