From: Klaus Zeitler <kzeitler <at> alcatel-lucent.com> To: emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org Subject: bug#571: 23.0.60; Solaris 5.8 version hangs (X resources for faces) Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:27:05 +0200
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:
The following 3 lines in function face-set-after-frame-default in faces.el
cause emacs to hang at startup (before the initial frame pops up).
;; X resouces for the default face are applied during
;; x-create-frame.
(and (not (eq face 'default))
(memq (window-system frame) '(x w32 mac))
(make-face-x-resource-internal face frame))
When I evaluate the function below in scratch buffer with
(face-set-after-frame-default-tst (selected-frame))
I get: Wrong type argument: font, unspecified
(defun face-set-after-frame-default-tst (frame &optional parameters)
"Initialize the frame-local faces of FRAME.
Calculate the face definitions using the face specs, custom theme
settings, X resources, and `face-new-frame-defaults'.
Finally, apply any relevant face attributes found amongst the
frame parameters in PARAMETERS and `default-frame-alist'."
(dolist (face (nreverse (face-list)))
(condition-case ()
(progn
;; Initialize faces from face spec and custom theme.
(face-spec-recalc face frame)
;; X resouces for the default face are applied during
;; x-create-frame.
(and (not (eq face 'default))
(memq (window-system frame) '(x w32 mac))
(make-face-x-resource-internal face frame))
;; Apply attributes specified by face-new-frame-defaults
(internal-merge-in-global-face face frame))
;; Don't let invalid specs prevent frame creation.
(error nil))))
It's the face 'menu' that causes the error.
As a workaround I've now added a font spec for the menu face to my
Xresources file and the error is gone, e.g.

One nice thing about egotists: they don't talk about other people.
