How do I resolve missing font errors when launching Mathematica?
This information contributed by Edray Goins.
To use Mathematica via X Windows you must either have a local copy of or a font path directed to the following two directories:
/pkgs/mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/BDF/
/pkgs/mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/Type1/For example, on a Macintosh running X11 these folders should be copied and placed in the directory:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/
This way Mathematica will load without any error messages on missing fonts.
