emacs command in NX docs fails
This page recommends using the following emacs
command to avoid font warnings:
emacs -font 7x14
But a user reported in INC0142995 (and I confirmed) that this command fails in CLE 7:
friesen@cori09:~> emacs -font 7x14

Running plain emacs
without the -font
argument also throws several warnings, but emacs loads successfully. I recommend removal of this section:
Emacs complains about missing fonts and shows white blocks
This is due to a problem with font server. Please use the following command instead:
emacs -font 7x14
