This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.
In GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
of 2002-05-29 on camaro
configured using `configure --prefix=/tmp/e212 --with-xpm --with-jpeg
--with-tiff --with-gif --with-png --with-x'
Important settings:
value of $LC_ALL: nil
value of $LC_COLLATE: POSIX
value of $LC_CTYPE: nil
value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil
value of $LC_MONETARY: nil
value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil
value of $LC_TIME: nil
value of $LANG: en_US
locale-coding-system: iso-latin-1
default-enable-multibyte-characters: t
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
Starting Emacs21.2 with --no-site-file -q, and using
(make-frame '((name . "abc")))
gives an error: (error Font `fontset-16' is not defined)
Using "123" instead of "abc" gives the same error. However, using a
string of only accented characters in iso-8859-1 succeeds! Using a
string of traditional Chinese characters succeeds! Using a string of
a mixture characters from the following scripts also works:
traditional Chinese, Thai, Tibetan, Korean Hangul, Japanese Hiragana
and Katakana. Mixing in ASCII (yes, the 7-bit subset of iso-8859-1)
letters sometimes works, but usually results in that error.
I discovered this when trying to use ediff, whose control frame failed
to open because of this problem. Changing
ediff-ediff-control-frame-parameters so that the "name" parameter does
not contain any ASCII characters can work around this bug.
