[Nix-dev] emacs-24.2: fontconfig related display problem

[Christopher Howard]

Hi. I just finished installing emacs-24.2. The graphical (gtk-based)
version starts fine; however, the text in all the menus (including the
tiles) is garbled (more specifically, replaced by empty box characters).
The error given one the command line is:

quote:
--------
(process:27651): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
    Using the fallback 'C' locale.
Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display "localhost:13.0".
Fontconfig warning: line 26: empty font directory name ignored

(emacs:27651): Pango-WARNING **: failed to choose a font, expect ugly
output. engine-type='PangoRenderFc', script='latin'
--------

I am not very familiar with Fontconfig. Please advise.

System information:
Nix PM v1.3
All packages built from source
Local installation of Nix, Nix store dir, and Nix state dir (no admin
privileges)
System running SUSE Linux with kernel 2.6.32
