Your Sun is probably missing some of the fonts the application seeks.
Try using the resource manager to change the font requests.  The
defaults should be in the application system app-defaults file and can
be changed through your personal app-defaults or .Xdefaults or
(sometimes) the "-fn" command line switch.
