Mathematica 4.0.1 and XFree86 4.0

I just installed XFree86 4.0 on my Corel Linux box.  When I started up
Mathematica, I got the following error:

The front end could not locate a CharacterEncoding file for the
requested encoding (Couriere.-X Consortium Type 1 Rasterizer).

Apparently, this is a font problem.  However, I have little experience
in dealing with font problems and X.  Anyone have suggestions on fixing
this?

Mathematica seems to work ok, but super- and subscript text looks worse than it
did before.

Many thanks,

Kevin Gross
