A number of people have had trouble with the mathematica front end under solaris CDE. In particular :error messages from fonts and worse : crashes when using dialogues. I (as well as the rest of the world) have not been able to get a fix from Wolfram The problem seems to be in the the font names used by CDE I have found the following workaround: Put the following lines in your ~/.Xdefaults file XMathematica*fontList: -b&h-lucida sans-medium-r-normal-sans-14-140-72-72-p-82-iso8859-1 XMathematica*labelFontList: -b&h-lucida sans-medium-r-normal-sans-14-140-72-72-p-82-iso8859-1 XMathematica*buttonFontList: -b&h-lucida sans-medium-r-normal-sans-14-140-72-72-p-82-iso8859-1 XMathematica*textFontList: -b&h-lucida sans-medium-r-normal-sans-14-140-72-72-p-82-iso8859-1 With this the front end crashes less than once per hour, no worse than under openwindows.
