It looks like there is a bug in our default resource where the fonts 
were not properly qualified.

It seems to work if you have bitmap (Adobe) fonts installed, which is 
typical.  But, it fails to match against scalable (URW) fonts.  Someone 
at Mandriva must have decide to axe the Adobe fonts.

Probably, the easiest thing is just to install the Adobe fonts.

This command line works around the nedit bug.  You can start up nedit 
with a particular font, by pixel size:

nedit -xrm '*fontList: \
-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1'

Or, by point size:

nedit -xrm '*fontList: \
-*-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1'

Does that help?
