 Hi all,
 I posted this on fedoraforum.org when I was testing the preview F11
 and just did again to see if anyone using F11 release has any ideas,
 but I thought I'd try the mailing list as well:

 *** post from fedora forum ***
 The Citrix ICAClient and clearcase gui tools don't launch properly. I
 get the following:
 Warning:
 Name: FONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG_STRING
 Class: XmRendition
 Conversion failed. Cannot load font.

 on the console in a nice steady stream. Citrix's wfica just fails to
 launch, and the wfcmgr is missing all fonts. Clearcase gui tools
 complains that it's unable to create a text drawing font set and the
 tools exit.

 I can workaround the problem two ways, one LANG=C instead of
 en_US.UTF-8 or removing the cjk fonts, specifically, the following two
 packages:
 cjkuni-uming-fonts-0.2.20080216.1-23.fc11.noarch
 cjkuni-fonts-common-0.2.20080216.1-23.fc11.noarch

 Any ideas on other solutions for this problem?
 *** end post from fedora forum ***

 Does anyone have any thoughts about this, the clearcase gui tools and
 ICAClient are the only two motif applications I have readily available
 to test (wish those would just move off motif, but I'm doubting that
 IBM will do anythign with clearcase anytime remotely soon).

 Just looking for general ideas on how to troubleshoot this.  I don't
 understand font loading anymore, especially with the UTF-8 encoding
 stuff, so I don't know why LANG=C would actually allow this to work.
 Can anyone provide a short primer on how that works, or let me know
 what's a good tool to try to debug font loading and find out what
 fonts it either can't load, or can't find?

 Thanks,
 Andy

Thanks for figuring this out! I was about to go crazy. One question
though, how the heck did you figure out it was those two packages
causing the problems?

Try posting this to the fedora-font list too.
