I added the module Fixed_Width_Fonts_1_0_0.mo Then in ~/.Xdefaults I added the line: Emacs*font: fixed

Then I logged out and logged in (you could also do xrdb -m < ~/.Xdefaults) and now emacs works.

Emacs 

the trick from jganong that adding "Emacs*font: fixed" does not work.

There are two resons for that:

  1. At startup time, xinitrc processes only .Xresources not .Xdefaults files.
  2. xrdb doesn't work because of lacking cpp. If you insist on using xrdb you have to use "xrdn -nocpp" which obviously isn't the case of xinitrc.

My bypass is having an executable emacs file in /usr/local/bin which do only one thing: launch /usr/bin/emacs -fn fixed.
