Bug Description
Binary package hint: emacs
I just dist-upgraded from dapper to edgy. Now when i start emacs in X mode, It does not display fonts. It only shows boxes.
Emacs runs fine when i start with the `-nw' switch.
It gives me this error when i run emacs
~$ emacs
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-courier-
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-helvetica-
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
I have also tried removing my ~/.emacs file. The problem still persists.
