Comment 4 for bug 2066

I was able to get rid of these font warnings by doing any of the following:

   - "sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales" set default to ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8
   - put "xset fp rehash" in gnome-session. It must be run after each login.
   - run xfig with "LANG=C xfig"

None of these are a real fix but it might give some hint as to the problem to someone smarter than I.
Note: This problems occurs for many of the old X packages. xfontsel, xload, etc.
