It sounds like your configuration is incorrect.
Within your .zshenv/.cshrc/.profile add something
like the following:-

#
# Set up Microemacs
#
MEPATH=$HOME/.microemacs:/opt/jasspa/company:/opt/jasspa/macros:/opt/jasspa/spel\
ling
export MEPATH

Create the directory $(HOME)/.microemacs and place
your local config files in here (<logname>.emf etc.)
Logout/In or re-source the start-up script and
it should then work OK. The path order is important
here and your own directory should appear first in
the list.

With respect to fonts, my system setting is something
like this (1600x1200 display) - values taken from the .erf
file, no underline problems etc. I hope that you read
the notes on the 12/02 release, you cannot move the
.erf file between older releases, if you do then this
causes problems (similar to the ones you describe).
It should not be necessary to mess with the $system
bits, the only time that I have ever needed to do this
is with a problematic TTY console configuration, the
rest of the time the user-setup is sufficient.

Yep, there are some problems here on my Sun under Solaris.
Just applying a fix now to use <X11/keysym.h> to perform
the mapping. This should give a good translation into ME.
I'll also test it under Linux (Slackware) and then push
the fixes up onto jasspa.com. Note that this build will
include a number of newer features as it comes from the
top of the CVS development tree, but is stable. Will
push early next week which will give me a chance to
test it properly - I will assume that you can build
from source - let me know if you want a binary image.

Regards
Jon.
