Hi Jon,

I built the 1.9.3 tarball again and it completed without error
together with the change in font metric as you had suggested.  I guess
my gtk toolchain might become inconsistent because I had build 1.9.4
earlier successfully.

I had enough disk space but only that I want my computer to be
gnome/gconf/kde starch free.

Gnumeric now can open excel files without any font related warnings. ;-)
