test3 vs make xconfig

Greets all;

I just ran a make xconfig on that fresh install of test3 on my shop 
box as I wanted to turn on a full fledged ISA bus scan since there 
are two custom made 8 bit ISA cards containing a few relays and 
apparently a whole 8 bit wide input port per card, and while I have 
what appears to be normal fonts elsewhere, all I get on the xconfig 
screen are gfx chars, little boxes of various shapes and half, 
quarter, and full moons in a character sized box.

That box isn't on a network allthough it may be eventually when I can 
figure out howto get some cat5 run to the shop building.  I hate 
digging ditches, been there, done that once already for power out 
there.

Running gnome of course since there is apparently no terminals 
available if I switchdesk to kde.  And it sure don't look like the 
kde I'm looking at here!

How can I fix these fubared characters?

-- 
Cheers, Gene
