Topic

Updated emacs packages that fix a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.

Description

GNU Emacs is a powerful, customizable, self-documenting text editor. It provides
special code editing features, a scripting language (elisp), and the capability
to read email and news.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • The Lucida Typewriter and Lucida Console fonts were not usable with Emacs 23.1

in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Consequently, the following error message was
displayed in the Messages buffer: "set-face-attribute: Font not available". With
this update, no error message is displayed in this scenario and the selected
font can be used to display the buffer contents. (BZ#678225)

Users of emacs are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this
bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
