GTK+-1.2 does not work properly in UTF-8 locales; it can't handle the
fonts. If you try setting LANG=C and run the applications again, you
should find the fonts then display properly.
GTK+-1.2 is no longer maintained. These applications should have been
ported to GTK+-2.0 several years ago. While not a fix, it's possible
that a workaround in libgtk1.2 to set the locale LC_CTYPE to C/POSIX
when it's using a UTF-8 codeset would at least make the applications
usable, even if it breaks i18n. At this point we're just patching up
abandoned code.

Roger
