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.
