I am seeing something similar that might be related.  I want to xhost
applications from Solaris 10 systems to my home FC3 system.  Most the
apps I use no longer xhost, though they worked fine in FC2.

While trying to open filemerge, it opens a window but all of the
characters have been replaced by rectangles or crosses, and this
warning:

Warning: Cannot convert string "-b&h-lucida-bold-r-normal-
sans-20-0-100-100-p-0-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct

While trying to open an openwindows application, it simply does not
even open:

XView warning: Cannot load font set '-b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans-
*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*' (Font package)
XView warning: Unable to open default font set
XView error: Cannot open connection to window server: localhost:11.0
(Server package)

I can get some apps to xhost like gnome-terminal.  I tried both ssy -X
and -Y.  Is there some package missing?

TIA

Marty
