I fixed this problem. Thanks Jason Lee and others for your ideas and clues
it led me in the right direction. It took some finding but I got it. Most of
the usual locale and conf files proved useless. As you say you could make a
script to execute xastir and fix it but for the record here is the fix.
change the file /etc/default/locale so that it reads LANG=C instead of
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

Ive searched the archive for this mail list and even remember something
about this .. The wiki does not seem to address this issue either. Its a
Font problem by the looks. I get a string of errors constantly that look
like these.
Warning:
Name: create_appshell text_output
Class: XmTextField
Character '\156' not supported in font. Discarded.
Warning:
Name: create_appshell text_output
Class: XmTextField
Character '\41' not supported in font. Discarded.
The character numbers vary but the font warning is frequent. Any ideas
on
a fix for this ?
