I'm guessing he needs to run mkfontdir in Type1, or something; anyone?

Subject: XFree86 4.3 and Emacs

Hi,
I upgraded my Debian sid XFree86 to your unofficial version 4.3. After that
emacs hasn't worked in X. I downgraded to XFree86 4.2 and the problem
persisted until I commanded "apt-get remove xfonts-scalable && apt-get
install xfonts-scalable" which seemed to correct the problem (I was just
trying to do anything and the error message seemed to be about the scalable
fonts). Now I'm using version 4.3 again and the problem is that Emacs won't
start (actually Mozilla Firebird 0.6 which was installed from the binary
archive from www.mozilla.org had similar problems but the official Debian
sid package for Firebird 0.6 worked well).
Here are outputs from emacs21 and Mozilla Firebird:

onni@myrskylintu:~$ emacs

This is what appeared in the console I started X from:
