        I have those settings in my X resources file for emacs wrt
 fonts.  I start emacs on Debian with
 %  emacs -Q
 I have 
   
/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacs-snapshot/emacs-goodies-el/color-theme.elc
 The key strokes to see the issue are:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
C-x b <return> <escape> x l o a d - l i b r a r y <return>
c o l o r - t h e m e <return> <escape> x c o l o r
- t h e m e - d e e p - b l u e <return> <help-echo>
<escape> x v i e w - l o s s a g e <return>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

        The first C-x b <return> puts me in the *scratch*
 buffer. Everything in the buffer is readable at that point. I load the
 color-theme package, and load the deep blue color theme, and now every
 character in the buffer is replaced by an square box.

        This happens every single time here. I can provide the
 color-theme.elc file (also found in the Debian package emacs-goodies)
 to help in debugging.   I tried attaching the color-theme.el file, but
 the mail bounced (I suspect due to size)/

        Please send me mail off-list if you want me to send you a copy
 of color-theme.el.
