Specifically:
Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-iso8859-1" to type FontList
Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-times-medium-r-normal-*-17-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-times-medium-i-normal-*-17-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-times-bold-r-normal-*-17-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct
Warning: Cannot convert string "-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal-*-17-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1" to type FontStruct

Anyway I suspect this is because these fonts exist on just about every
platform except for the Suns.  I can't come up with a good way to get
around it and still have things be platform independent.  Hopefully
someone will be more inspired than I am to fix this.
