From snv_97 some fonts have been removed. So, when you select some locales such like CCK, you will see garbage display on dtlogin screen. Actually not only dtlogin, all dt application such like dtterm will garbage display. What's root cause?
Have a look /usr/dt/config/Xsetup, there is a fuction ADDFONTPATH_LOCAL() to add fonts path:
ADDFONTPATH_LOCAL() {
# Combine lines together to make arguments for the xset command
FP=`/usr/bin/awk '
BEGIN { fp="fp+ " }
/^[ ]*$/ { fp=" +fp " ; continue }
{ printf("%s%s", fp, $0) ; fp="," } ' $1`
if [ -n "$FP" ]; then
eval "$XDIR/xset $FP"
fi
}

If the font path which be passed by $1(OWfontpath) do not exist. xset will failed. To set X font path successfully, we should make sure all fonts path in OWfontpath exist. That means, if you remove some fonts path, they should be remove from OWfontpath too. Currently from snv_97 to snv_101, some the fonts path, which do not exist, are still listed in OWfontpath. This cause the issue I describe in header of this paper.
I wrote a simple tool in python to check which fontpath have been removed, but still in OWfontpath.
To display correctly, they need to be removed from OWfontpath.:
