xconfig for kernel unreadable

[Kontogiannis Theophanis]

Hi all,

I have FC2 (no updates - just the 4 cd from the site)
and I try to make xconfig

whell a window pops up and instead of getting readable information, I get
small circles (instead of characters) with various parts filled in black
(half, full, quarter.. no circles just spaces....etc)

I have English US and English language only as system wide and during the
session!

any hints?
