What were you trying to do?
display international fonts in Emacs (eg, with "C-h h")
What's wrong:
apparently, it doesn't work with our default Emacs setup.
you need to have "Emacs.font: fixed" (or presumably one of
various other acceptable things) in your .Xresources
What should have happened:
We're using up all this srvd space on fonts. They should work!
:)
I don't know if making "fixed" the default font is necessarily
the right solution though.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
