font problems after upgradeing Xfree to 4.2.0

All, Just upgraded XFree on my 7.3 laptop to 4.2.0. But now I have font problems! Fonts aren't my strong point so hopefully somebody out there can help.... KDE has no problems, but all the Motif applications such as VMWare, Nedit, etc... just have greyed-out squares where characters should be in the menu and status bars! This makes it extremely difficult to work with. In the case of VMWare, it's not so bad as I only use 2 configurations, and I know which one to choose, but nedit is a dead loss! Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA RikD.
