documentation of fontmap file?

[Robert Lopez abq sc philips com]

When I try to start Gnumeric i get:

 Gnumeric failed to find a suitable default font.

 Please verify your gnome-print installation and that
 your font map file (typically located in
 /usr/local/share/fonts/fontmap) is not empty or near
 empty. 

 If you still have no luck, please file a proper bug
 report (see http://bugs.gnome.org) including the
 following extra items:

 1. Values of LC_ALL and LANG environmental variables. 
 2. Your fontmap file, see above.

 Thanks -- the Gnumeric Team


Since I am trying to run on Solaris-7 I do not think I
have found a bug. I think I am failing to read the
correct documentation.

What should be in the fontmap file? This is what I
have:
  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <fontmap/>
This looks nearly empty to me. What documentation
should I read to find out which build failed to
populate the file with adequate documentation?

Also, I have no LC_ALL or LANG environmental
variables. Which document told me to create them and
what values to assign to them?

Thanks.
