[gembud] gempak font problem on RHEL 6

Gembuds,
I'm trying to run Gempak 6.2 applications on RHEL 6. When I run nmap2, the application immediately exits with this error:

Finished reading tables...
Resource File:  /home/gempak/GEMPAK6.2.0/resource/Nmap

  Major opcode of failed request:  45 (X_OpenFont)
  Serial number of failed request:  264850
  Current serial number in output stream:  264859

A search of the support archives yielded a couple of suggestions, mainly installing the missing fonts. We tried to install xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi and msttcorefonts-2.0-1.spec but the problem persists. There are other similar warning messages when running Adobe products too. Has anyone successfully run Gempak on RHEL 6? Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks.

Chris
