Evaluation
problem is not reproducible on our lab's itanium linux machine, though it was
installed by using the exactly same redhat box version 7.2, need further 
investigation
We have a different font.dir on our Japan QA team's itanium, either migrate
to kochi fonts or or use "filename" to specify the physical font name directly
