I just installed all of the Win98 font files.  However, here is what 
someone wrote in the Mandrake discussion group when I asked for help:

Had the same problem here. Turned out to be a font problem. Install
xorg-x11-100dpi-fonts and/or xorg-x11-75dpi-fonts to solve the
problem. For some reason these are not installed with the default MDK
10.1 install.


Does this make sense? 

Thanks for the help!
