-The intlfonts distribution contains X11 fonts that Emacs needs in
-order to display international characters. If you see a non-ASCII
-character appear as a hollow box, that means you don't have a font for
-it. You might find a font in the intlfonts distribution. If you do
-have a font for a non-ASCII character, but some characters don't look
-right, or appear improperly aligned, a font from the intlfonts
-distribution might look better.

ISO-8859 charsets.
XFree86 release 4 (from <URL:ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/> and mirrors)

+with minimal character repertoires, which can cause problems -- see
