In GNU Emacs 19.27.1 (sparc-sun-sunos4.1.2, X toolkit) of Sat Sep 24
1994 on kepler


Here's a workaround that works on two X11-R5 sites for my previous bug
report on the font 12x24 (reprinted below).

I just patched the file mouse.el to change the font for 12x24 to
actually be 12x24, rather than 
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-*-*-*-c-120-iso8859-1
which doesn't exist on my system.  Also, I removed the line for the
font 11x18, because I have neither the font
11x18
nor the font
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-*-*-*-c-110-iso8859-1.

Context diff:

Previous bug report, updated:

I get up emacs & select a new font by 
C-mouse-3 Misc 12x24
it looks very small and broken.  The same thing happens if I type

emacs -q -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-*-*-*-c-120-iso8859-1

But that's not what I think the font 12x24 is anyway.  If I type 

emacs -q -fn 12x24 &

I'm fine.  But if I type 
C-mouse-3 Misc 11x18
I get the same problem, but there is no font that I could use instead:
(kepler)emacs-19.27> xterm -fn 11x18
xterm:  unable to open font "11x18", trying "fixed"....
