Somewhere in your SAS resources (either the defaults or the ones being set for your system or user configurations), you're referencing the font mentioned.

For general information on configuring SAS resources under Unix, see:

http://sasdocs.ats.ucla.edu/unixc/sasx.htm

My suggestion would be to look for a suitable matching font. One tool for doing so is the graphical 'xfontsel' tool. This lets you specify a foundry, family, and other parameters (including wildcards), and displays the resulting . If this doesn't turn up on your system (proprietary Unices often are sadly lacking in standard utilities), 'xlsfonts' should list fonts to a terminal. Save to a file or grep output for a suitable pattern.

I forget the specific resource filse used by SAS, but believe you'll find them in your home directory, try:

$ ls -ld .*sas* *sas* .*SAS* *SAS*

...to root them out, or consult the documentation ;-)

If you find a matching font specification, remove it.

You may also be defining the font in your X Window System resources:

$ xrdb -query | grep 'dt-interface'

...may list the font. Change it to something that *does* exist on your system.
