Ouch. Your X environment is already moved to XFree86-4.x or
Xorg X11R6.7/later? Keith Packerd's tools like "fontconfig"
are really useless for gtk+-1.2.x world. I recommend you to
search .rpm (or .deb or anything else fitting your system)
including xlsfonts, xfontsel, xfd etc. They are useful to
check font setting for X core font API which gtk+-1.2.x relies on.

jiskan16, jiskan24 are Japanese font (16x16 bitmap, 24x24 bitmap).
Possibly you can find some jisx0208 fonts by
	grep jisx0208 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.dir 


In next, I want you to check whether X-server can provide jisx0208.
If X-server is configured well, fonts.dir reflects what fonts are
available via X core font API, but I cannot expect so.

If Japanese fonts are accessible via X core font API, the next problem
might be gtkrc is tuned to request unavailable Japanese fonts.
Please check if there's gtkrc.ja in some directory. In it, usually
default fontset for LANG=ja_JP environment is described.
