[ale] issue with fonts, Fedora 8, Solaris application

[Jeff Lightner]

No problem

FYI on the FC 6 box where I have lesstif - I believe it was the
libXm.so.2.0.1 that was the important one.  (The other is a slink to
it.)

rpm -q lesstif
lesstif-0.95.0-15.fc6

rpm -ql lesstif
/usr/lib/libDtPrint.so.1
/usr/lib/libDtPrint.so.1.0.0

Sounds like a lead.  Certainly better than anything Google found for
me.  Thanks!
