Never mind. Solved it now. I deleted .ethereal/preferences so that it
creates a new preference file with a valid font.

This is slightly off-topic, but I was using ethereal 0.8.16, and
ethereal display was working fine. I can see via ethereal the captured
packets and the protocol tree for each packet.
I then upgraded to XFree86 4.0.3 ( from 3.3.6 ) plus a few other
packages along the way ( moved from 2.91 to gcc 2.95, binutils to
2.9.5 ). gtk+ was not updated. Now everytime I run ethereal and
capture packets, the windows showing the packets captured and the
protocol tree shows squares instead of readable text.
I also tried etheral 0.8.17 ... same thing.
