gnome-terminal problem

[Travis Saling <trav u washington edu>]

Hi all,

I'm suddenly running into a strange error+crash when I try to run 
gnome-terminal.  This started happening within the last couple of days, 
(probably coincidentally) around the same time I downloaded some updates 
via up2date for RH 8.  If I run it from another terminal window (via 
Eterm or Xterm) I get the following error:

[trav webguy: trav]$ gnome-terminal

** (gnome-terminal:27870): WARNING **: Failed to load Xft font pattern 
".fulldir-10:slant=0:weight=100:pixelsize=13.3333:antialias=True:hintstyle=2:hinting=True:verticallayout=False:autohint=False:globaladvance=True:dpi=96:rgba=0:scale=1:lang=en-US", 
falling back to default font.

** (gnome-terminal:27870): WARNING **: Failed to load default Xft font.

To the best of my knowledge I haven't messed with my fonts at all.  I've 
tried moving .gconf* and .gnome2* out of the way, but it didn't resolve 
the problem.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
