I just downloaded the latest version of Emacs. I'm running Windows XP for
my OS on a Pentium 4 w/ 512 megs of memory. I get the following error
when the program runs:
(C:\Program Files\emacs-21.2\bin\emacs.exe) [2 times]
x-complement-fontset-spec: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
I have run emacs on XP (Home) with no dramas.
Try emacs -q
To run without loading the local .emacs / .emacs.el file.
If this works the problem is in your .emacs / .emacs.el file.
If this does not work then, I suspect that it does not like a font string
in your registry.
(From the FAQ)
Registry
To change the default font of Emacs frames using registry entries,
create a value in the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GNU\Emacs:
Value Name: Emacs.Font
Value Type: REG_SZ
String: -*-Courier-normal-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1
I have had a problem when I copied a font string that worked to a
system with a different DPI value.
Find and remove the offending registry entry.
Any suggestions...
Just those two
Jim
