It is a matter to have the fonts available needed by the HP-UX CDE environment for your X server. This can be done by either copying the needed fonts from the HP machines to your local XFree86 installation (something I can't help with) or use one of the HP machines with the needed fonts as a font server. Anyway what happens when you select failsafe session during login ? Staf.
