ICAClient and clearcase gui tools can't find proper fonts

[wangmaster]

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?

I don't think this is your problem, but have you installed the necessary OpenMotif packages?

Yes, if you don't install the openmotif packages you'd get a library linking error when the dynamic loader is unable to find the motif libraries. For clearcase libXm.so.3 has to be symlinked to libXm.so.4 to work (motif developers upped the soname version when they didn't make any ABI/API changes when they went to openmotif 2.3).

As I said, if i uninstall the cjk fonts, or set LANG=C, both clearcase and wfcmgr and wfica (the latter two from Citrix) all function properly. It's definitely a font problem, but unfortunately, I don't understand how LANG encoding can effect font selection.
