It's 'mathematica' in /usr/local/bin. 

It says :

#!/bin/sh

#  Mathematica V3.0.1 command file

I don't know whether our sys. admin. modified the original script.
At first, the script looks for fonts, and executes 'xset fp+' and 'xset
fp rehash'.
I think that step was fine, b/c it did not complain anything about that,
and the fonts seemed to be added to my X server.
