Check your install log - depending on the install method, you may see a
lot of class action/postinstall script errors from font packages failing
to run mkfontdir so that the X server can translate the 14-dashed XLFD
font names like the above to the files in that package.
If so, you can either manually run mkfontdir, or just pkgrm the packages
and re-pkgadd them from the install media. (The scripts failed because
some of the library dependencies were not met in the miniroot/archives
used during install, but they're present on the installed system, so
should work fine when you pkgadd on the running system.)
nv_100 should have the missing dependencies included in the install
miniroot/archives to fix this.
