Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset

Fatal error (11).
Your files have been auto-saved.
Use 
-x recover-session' to recover them.

Please report this bug by running the send-pr script included
with XEmacs, or selecting end Bug Report' from the help menu.
As a last resort send ordinary email to rashes@xemacs.org'.
*MAKE SURE* to include the information in the command
M-x describe-installation.

If at all possible, *please* try to obtain a C stack backtrace;
it will help us immensely in determining what went wrong.
To do this, locate the core file that was produced as a result
of this crash (it's usually called ore' and is located in the
directory in which you started the editor, or maybe in your home
directory), and type

  gdb /usr/bin/xemacs core

then type here' when the debugger prompt comes up.
(If you don't have GDB on your system, you might have DBX,
or XDB, or SDB.  A similar procedure should work for all of
these.  Ask your system administrator if you need more help.)

Lisp backtrace follows:

  # bind (frame-being-created)
  make-frame(nil #<x-device on ":0.0" 0x21d6>)
  frame-initialize()
  # bind (debugger debug-on-error command-line-args-left)

Need 1) the list of xfonts you have installed ("dpkg -l 'xfont*'"
should give list), 2) start xemacs as "gdb xemacs" and when it dies
type "bt" and send the output from that, 3) run "strace xemacs" and
send the output from that, 4) run "ltrace xemacs" and send the output
from that, 5) send the output from "env", 6) the contents of your
.Xresource/.Xdefaults file.

And I'll likely lower the severity on this.  IMO a crash for one
person when there are many other happy people using it does not make
an important bug.  Let me know if you disagree.

Thanks
Jim

There's a fixed package in incoming (actually now installed in the
archive) and the fix you suggest here is likely to be the next package
upload (since powerpc doesn't work the other way).

Hello,

after upgrading debian to latest testing, I just can't start xemacs.
Just starting as "xemacs" will produce error message and than segfault.
As reading other bug reports "xemacs -nw" works. I think this problems
(at least segfault) as #133607, #183040, #182971.

The error message is:

Warning: Color name "Black" is not defined
Warning: Color name "Gray80" is not defined
Warning: Color name "Gray30" is not defined
Warning: Color name "Blue" is not defined
Warning: Color name "Red" is not defined

Fatal error (11).

Hi,

I did not realize merging of bug cause repeatmerge=no BTS screen to list
bug mainly under oldest one.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=xemacs21&repeatmerged=no

So for the sake of ease of tracking bug, I place pointer to the bug
