Date: Sat, 20 Dec 2008 11:46:41 +0800

After a system update and add some new fonts, the X input method not
work anymore.
It's the second time I got this problom. The first time is 2 years
ago, it bother me for half a year, and it solved by deletting some
chinese fonts copy from windows.
I don't know how to debug this bug, just changed my input method to
fcitx & scim (my default X Input Method is ibus). None of the 3 X
Input Method program could launch in emacs-cvs. All of them works fine
under my other GTK+ & Qt4 programs like tilda, firefox, gvim, opera,
qterm... etc.

The second problom is the first launch speed under no net envirement.
If I plugin my wired network, emacs-cvs start quickly.
Otherwise it delaied 1 or 2 minitues to start.

Could you please give me a advice to debug the C-SPC event, and find
out way it couldn't catch the XIM?

Thanks.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I recently encountered this problem, too. After some digging, I believe
the problem is missing fontset caused by recent xorg-xserver update.

If you are using xorg-xserver 1.6.0 RC version, then you are likely to
be hit by the same problem. According to the discussions[1], you can
either rebuild xserver with --disable-builtin-fonts or apply this
patch[2] and rebuild.

[2]: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=49b93df8a3002db7196aa3fc1fd8dca1c12a55d6

Although this is not actually an emacs bug, I would suggest that emacs
should be more verbose if it failed to initialize XIM.

This seemed to be about a problem triggered by an old version of X that
Emacs could perhaps have handled more gracefully.  But as this was ten
years ago, I don't think this bug report is relevant any more, and I'm
closing it.  Please reopen if it's still relevant.
