Hello Peter,
This appears somehow you've set generic font definition for
X applications in a places like ~/.Xdefaults and so on where
you're using CDE font aliases while your GUI desktop is
now JDS.
And perhaps due to that, you no longer have CDE related
fonts.alias file loaded before JDS started and that caused
the warning message.
As a resolution, I would try to check on font/fontset/fontlist
definitions you might have at your home directory by doing
something like the following:
cd ; grep dt-interface .*
and removing the definitions as needed.
Secondly, some may disagree but IMO I *think* this could be seen
as a JDS bug since if would be wonderful if JDS still maintain
CDE font aliases (and thus their proper mappings).
Ienup
