I've been having problems with applications using MOTIF widgets and X11
3.3.3.0. Specifically, when the applications (like DDD & Nedit) start
up, I get many messages along the lines of:

Name: text
Class: XmTextField
Character '2' not supported in font. Discarded.

Of course, nothing shows up in any motif widgets. I've changed the
default fonts to fixed ones, then adobe- no luck. I've changed the
locale setting around and even rebuilt the applications from source-
again no effect.

Dejanews and FAQ searches didn't turn up anything on this topic but I'm
sure it's something simple that others have encountered as well.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks....
Justin

These programs need to be linked with libBrokenLocale. If you don't
want to/aren't able to recompile them, you can set the environment
variable LD_PRELOAD to /lib/libBrokenLocale.so.1 before launching the
above apps.

I was confused about this for quite a while. There has been very
little discussion of it on the newsgroups.
