Problems mit Xemacs Menubar Font at SuSE Enterprise Server 8.0

Hello list,

I have a problem to set the  menubar font of Xemacs at SuSE  Enterprise
Server 8.0.

In my .Xresources and .Xdefaults I have the setting:

Emacs*menubar*FontSet: -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Calling  Xemacs with these setting, Xemacs starts with a courier font in
the menubar displaying the error messages:

Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Cannot convert string
"-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" to type FontSet

If I use the ressource setting

Emacs*menubar*font: -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*


instead, Xemacs menubar font becomes again a menubar font, but there is no
error message.

It is possible to select the desired font with xfontsel!!.

What might be the reason for this error? Is there any posibility to
customize the menubar font in init.el?

Kind Regards

Alexander
