Bug 3313

xview/OpenLook applications are unable to run with the X server in 6.8.1-23.EL
on RHEL4.  Whether you compile the xview package locally on the RHEL4 box
and run apps from it, or you ssh to a Solaris box and run something from
/usr/openwin/bin, one always gets:

XView warning: Cannot load font set
'-b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*' (Font package)
XView warning: Unable to open default font set
XView error: Cannot open connection to window server: localhost:13.0 (Server
package)

If one goes to a Fedora Core 2 box with xorg-x11 6.7.0 it works fine.
I have even succeeded in downgrading a RHEL4 box to 6.7.0 and it then works.

If you have a Solaris box you can ssh to, the easiest way to reproduce
this is to ssh to the solaris box and try to run /usr/openwin/bin/textedit

One can get textedit to popup by running 'textedit -fn fixed' but stderr still
shows tons of font warnings.  Seems to be unable to handle any fonts given
with "*" wildcard

Maybe this is really an issue with xfs in 6.8
