[wellylug] Font problem

[Adam Bogacki]

Hi, trying to start gnucash gives me

adam at Tux:~$ gnucash
The font "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*" does not 
support all the required character sets for the current locale 
"LC_CTYPE=en_US;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=C;LC_COLLATE=C;LC_MONETARY=C;LC_MESSAGES=C;LC_PAPER=C;LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=C;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C"
  (Missing character set "ISO8859-1")
  (Missing character set "ISO8859-1")
Warning: gnucash_style_set_register...(): Cannot load font: 
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*

Similarly, trying xvidtune gives me

Tux:~# xvidtune
Vendor: , Model:
Num hsync: 1, Num vsync: 1
hsync range 0:  31.00 -  70.00
vsync range 0:  55.00 - 120.00
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
Segmentation fault

I'd also like to load ISO8859-1 font to give me Polish accents ...

Googling around has not been productive, but I might have been looking
in the wrong place. It was often referred to as an 'old' problem. Any 
ideas ?
