[Message part 3 (message/rfc822, inline)]
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
(This is with an emacs built from cvsroot on Ubuntu 8.10. Build
details below.)
I am having only partial success getting emacs to render the otf font
"Inconsolata". Specifically, the font renders successfully inside
emacs, *except* when displaying the 'default' face, or a face that
explicitly inherits from it. In that case, the font renders as
rectangles. For a screenshot, see
http://verylowsodium.com/faces.png
This seems to happen no matter how I set the default font. My
standard ~/.emacs sets a font using window-system-default-frame-alist.
But even a simple invocation of
emacs -Q -fn "-*-Inconsolata-*-*-*-*-16-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1"
produces the sort of behavior as in the screenshot. Note that the
font in the attached screenshot *is* Inconsolata. It's not that emacs
can't read the font at all; it just doesn't work for the 'default'
face. Other (non-otf) fonts do not exhibit this behavior.

Trent W. Buck in IRC gave me a few questions and suggestions, the
results of which I will relay here:
Launching emacs with -fn 'Inconsolata' or -fn 'Inconsolata-12' did
not work, responding that the font "is not defined".
'fc-list' does list 'Inconsolata:style=Medium' among the available
fonts, and 'fc-match Inconsolata' responded
Inconsolata.otf: "Inconsolata" "Medium"
Setting 'Emacs.FontBackend: xft' as an X resource did not have any
effect.
