Mike, thanks for the help.
It appears that gtk+ and libstdc++ are older versions and I don't have
fontconfig/xft. Surprisingly the 4.4 system has the same issues and this
is based on the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I looked into
upgrading gtk+ a few days ago and ran into a web of dependencies where I
was unable to locate a required program or library. I've been thinking
about getting a new computer and this is one more reason to do so,
rather than do piecemeal software upgrades on an aging system or one
that is not fully set up.

I tried the first method despite the missing and older software and it
did not work.

I'd be surprised if the results weren't the same.

I think it's obviously my system and not a bug.
