Thanks for the followup.

This is actually an XEmacs problem in the sense that we've been lazy,
and allow XEmacs to expect you to have fonts for all the character
sets that XEmacs can use.  But why should you install fonts you never
use?

The condition is harmless (except for cluttering your screen with the
warning), and would require fiddling with the X error handlers which
is easy to get wrong, so it's never been fixed.  (Or something like
that.:-)

Thanks again for your help!
