Sorry about replying to myself. However, I have found a solution to this 
problem (well, I need to confirm a rebuild, but my test-build worked 
fine). Aparently Solaris (perhaps others as well?) does not handle this 
font:

-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

...well for pklsz of 7 (and 6 for that matter).

in configure and configure.in I changed LINK_SIZE=7 to 8. This sets the 
size in the preference file which is subsequently used to look up the 
specified font in gtkada.

It's pretty strange that no-one has reported this before. Perhaps they 
have old preferences with a workign setting? Perhaps my Solaris system 
has not got the currect patches, but I have yet to find a patch for 
this. Both for my 2.5.1 and 8 system.
