If you are trying to run cm from X, your
/home/local/X11R4/Sun4/lib/fonts/fonts.dir file will need entries that
match both '-b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans-*-90-*-*-*-*-*-*' and
'-b&h-lucida-bold-r-normal-sans-*-90-*-*-*-*-*-*'. Since our system was
missing '-b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans-*-90-*-*-*-*-*-*', I copied
the line with '-b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-sans-*-80-*-*-*-*-*-*' and
changed the 80 to a 90 (close enough, I figured). For each line you add
to this file, you must add 1 to the number in the first line of this
file. You will also need to find a usable font for -b&h-lucida-medium
and add this to your fonts.dir file. I chose a smaller font so that it
would fit in any space allocated for the original size.

Not very eligant, but it worked for me.
