The X11 emacs is unusable emacs -w32 works. If you were using Windows fonts in Emacs, that could be caused by Windows packages that decide it's a good idea to replace your existing installed versions of Windows fonts by theirs e.g. LibreOffice updates mess up the appearance of all my Windows, X, and Cygwin apps until I reboot. It seems to be caused by their ancient installer approach and aggressive font replacement policy. If something like that could be a cause of your problem, try rebooting to see if that clears up the problem. -- Take care.
