 Annoying warning message when emacs is built with lucid X toolkit
Date: Sat, 09 Aug 2014 07:43:08 +0200

Hi,

when building emacs with lucid, after running emacs -Q I have a message:

Warning: Cannot convert string
"-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct

This doesn't happen when building with default X toolkit (gtk).

That is because the old Xt-based toolkit don't understand Xft fonts and still use core X fonts.
The font above is the default for the Emacs widget, but you don't have it installed.
Emacs actually never uses the default, so we can remove it (done in trunk).  I guess at some point we did use the default, but no more.

Not Xt-based, so no problem.

Thanks for explanations, would be great to merge your change in emacs-24
branch.

I don't understand this.

Sorry to insist, but it is not serious releasing emacs-24.4 with such a
bug, for memory:

Warning: Cannot convert string
"-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct

The same issue is in emacs 23 and 24.3 so it is not a new issue.

How is this serious?  It is just a warning, a cosmetic issue.
Have you ever started a Gtk+ application from the command line, or a 
python script?  They often show many warnings, Gtk+ messages also tend 
to say "Critical".  I don't think this is a showstopper.
