Emacs and Xorg

Hi!

I've done a full system upgrade, and xorg and emacs were upgraded to their latest version in the package repository.  When I tried to start emacs afterwards, X crashed.  I've edited my .emacs as the crash was apparently caused by the fact that I use "monotype-courier new" as my default font.  Has anyone encountered a similer crash?   I have no idea why this happens..

Thanks!

Re: Emacs and Xorg

If the xorg.conf file got changed and the font path was no longer available then this might explain it - I've seen similar things on an Ubuntu box using the X Font server, but never on Arch.

I tend to use emacs from cvs rather than the arch version though...

Re: Emacs and Xorg

I have this crash with the CVS version as well.  I'll look into the xorg.conf file, but I don't believe this has changed. 

I can select the monotype courier-new font in xfontsel by the way, so I guess that already rules out the possibility of a missing font path?

Regards, and thanks for the answer!
