Front End Messages about encoding files

After installing Mma3 under Unix (Irix and Solaris) I keep getting
annoying messages from the Front End like:

  The front end could not locate a CharacterEncoding file for
the          requested encoding (50-ibm-850).

This message occurs right after start-up and takes a long time to
finish, because the whole font repository is searched. Similar messages
appear e.g. while browsing the Mathbook (with different numbers:
93-ibm-850, 69-ibm-850 ...).

What is going on there, and what can be done about it?

Thank you for your answers.
Regards,
Peter Schilling
