XView warning: Cannot load font set 'string' (Font Package)

Cause

This message from the XView library warns that a requested font is not installed on the X server. Often multiple warnings are displayed for the same font. The set of available fonts can vary from release to release.

Action

To see which fonts are available on the X server, run the xlsfonts(1) program. Then specify another font name that you see in the output of xlsfonts(1). Sometimes it is possible to locate a similar font from a different vendor.

Technical Notes

There are two packages of X windows fonts: the common but not required fonts (SUNWxwcft), and the optional fonts (SUNWxwoft). Run pkginfo(1) to see if both packages are installed, and add them to the system as you want.
