on startup no fonts, just little empty boxes


From: ken
Subject: on startup no fonts, just little empty boxes
Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2009 16:58:20 -0400
User-agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.22 (X11/20090625)

Just upgraded CentOS to (uname) "Linux 2.6.18-164.2.1.el5.plus #1 SMP
Fri Oct 9 12:34:43 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux" and since then,
when emacs (version 21.4.1) starts up (using emacs -Q), where there
should be text there are only little empty boxes, each the size of
character.  The error message reads:

Warning: Cannot convert string
"-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string
"-*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct


What's emacs doing or trying to do?

tia for any help.
