[GEMPAK #WBY-457057]: Gempak installation problem

Hi Yeshwanth,

The font warning and X_OpenFont error sounds like you need to install some font 
packages on your machine. 

Two previous Unidata/GEMPAK tickets discuss the same error (if you are also 
seeing error messages like "Warning: Cannot convert string 
"-adobe-helvetica-*-r-normal-*-14-*-75-75..."
