Re: Problem with string to fontset conversion

This warning does show up in "normal" circumstances.  I don't know how to
get rid of it.  For what it's worth I get similar messages from other
applications (e.g. XEmacs ;-).

>>> Warning: Cannot convert string 
>>> "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontSet

That, on the other hand, is a serious problem.  I suspect this font is
specified in your .Xresources somewhere.  Can you try and replace the
"iso8859-1" with "*-*" and see if it helps?

Maybe reusing the ".font" Xresources (turning it from a font spec to
a fontSet spec) can't be done so trivially because it doesn't work 100%?

If so the best option is probably to back out my patch for now until I (or
someone else) can fix it to use ".font" and ".fontSet".
