You may want to try chkfontpath to see how it compares to mine.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# chkfontpath -l
Current directories in font path:
1: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled
2: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled
3: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled
4: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
5: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1
6: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo
7: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic
8: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF
9: /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1
10:
11: /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts


Looks kosher. Seems that the error that is getting dumped is:
The font "-b&h-lucida-bold-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-iso8559-*" does not support all the required character sets for the current locale "en_US.UTF.8"

OK, getting closer. Looks like the perms on /dev/ptys* were horked badly. chmod 666 /dev/ptys* fixed it, but now i'm getting
aterm: can't open slave tty /dev/ttys0
when trying to start an aterm, and:
xterm: Error 18, errno 13: Permission denied
Reason: spawn: open() failed on ptsname


when trying to spawn an xterm. this is RH9, there is no devfs (which seems to be the most common cause of this problem). any takers?
