This is how I fixed a similar problem in Linux Fedora Core 6.

ADD LARGER FONTS FOR MAINTENANCE MENUS (MEDM)

Add the following lines to the bottom of Fedora Core System file:
"/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias"

widgetDM_4 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--8-60-100-100-c-50-iso8859-1 
widgetDM_6 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--8-60-100-100-c-50-iso8859-1 
widgetDM_8 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--9-80-100-100-c-60-iso8859-1 
widgetDM_10 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
widgetDM_12 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-100-100-100-c-70-iso8859-1 
widgetDM_14 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--14-110-100-100-c-70-iso8859-1 
widgetDM_16 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-120-100-100-c-90-iso8859-1 
widgetDM_18 -sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-120-100-100-c-80-iso8859-1 
widgetDM_20 -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--20-140-100-100-c-100-iso8859-1 
widgetDM_22 -sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-170-100-100-c-120-iso8859-1 
widgetDM_24 -sony-fixed-medium-r-normal--24-170-100-100-c-120-iso8859-1 
widgetDM_30 -adobe-times-medium-r-normal--25-180-100-100-p-125-iso8859-1
widgetDM_36
-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--34-240-100-100-p-176-iso8859-1 
widgetDM_40
-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--34-240-100-100-p-182-iso8859-1 
widgetDM_48
-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--34-240-100-100-p-182-iso8859-1 
widgetDM_60
-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--34-240-100-100-p-182-iso8859-1 

Historical Note:  The lines added to previous HP-UX systems
"/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias" were identical except line
"widgetDM_30
-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--24-180-100-100-p-125-iso8859-1".  "--24-"
became "--25-".

Subject: medm and scalable fonts

Hi all,
  For some reason, medm has started to segfault if started with
"-displaFont scalable". I suspect that one of those 'security upgrades' 
has done something bad. I run Ubuntu (gutsy), epics 3.14.7, and have the
same problem with medm 3.0.3 and 3.1.2.1. Any suggestions?
Pete.
