This error can usually be fixed by loading the Openwindow Keys into the system. If you type the following at a command prompt:
xrdb /usr/openwin/lib/Xdefaults
before executing the Dynatext viewer, dtext, the warnings should disappear and the system should no longer Bus Error when executing Dynatext.
Note: This command may need to be re-executed if the user logs out of the system or if the Fonts are adjusted from the CDE Style Manager.

Another possible work-around is to remotely log into a machine running SunOS4 and executing dtext from this machine :
cde_machine% rlogin sun4_machine
SunOS Release 4.1.4 (GENERIC) #4: Sun May 19 02:19:06 PDT 1996
Put the file in a temporary directory, untar it (tar xvf nls.tar) it creates in the temp dir a sub dir called /nls
mkdir -p /usr/dt/lib/nls
copy the files from "/temp_dir/nls" to "/usr/dt/lib/nls"
Set a evironment variable : XNLSPATH to this directory.
Source or reboot and start dtext
Note: If you do not have permissions to write in the "/usr/dt/lib" directory, it may be placed in another writable directory and the XNLSPATH environment variable may point to that directory however it is suggested to place it in the "/usr/dt/lib/nls" directory if possible.
