They were fine with checkouts from about a month ago. It seems that the cause is faces that have the font set to nil, instead of unspecified. I don't know if this is a Gnus-only problem, and it may be caused by an Emacs problem, so I am cc-ing both emacs-devel and ding. For example, describe-face on message-header-to says: Face: message-header-to (sample) (customize this face) Documentation: Face used for displaying From headers. Defined in `message.el'. Family: unspecified Width: unspecified Height: unspecified Weight: bold Slant: unspecified Foreground: DarkOliveGreen1 Background: unspecified Underline: unspecified Overline: unspecified Strike-through: unspecified Box: unspecified Inverse: unspecified Stipple: unspecified Font: nil Fontset: unspecified Inherit: unspecified but message-header-name is: Face: message-header-name (sample) (customize this face) Documentation: Face used for displaying header names. Defined in `message.el'. Family: unspecified Width: unspecified Height: unspecified Weight: unspecified Slant: unspecified Foreground: green Background: unspecified Underline: unspecified Overline: unspecified Strike-through: unspecified Box: unspecified Inverse: unspecified Stipple: unspecified Font: unspecified Fontset: unspecified Inherit: unspecified For me, message-header-name appears normal, using the right font from my X defaults: #define FONT_ISO_XL -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-200-75-75-c-100-iso10646-1 Emacs*font: FONT_ISO_XL but message-header-to is set in a large proportional font, which looks ugly. describe-font crashed my Emacs session, so I'm not sure about the specifics of the font that was used.
