K after three days of mucking around,, I found it.
In RH8 the default locale is en_US.UTF-8.
wxPython (wxGTK (wxWindows) ) I guess didn't know what that was.
So I set LANG to en_US and IT WORKS :)

Enjoy

Take a look

Top: The wxPython demo showing Scintilla (StyledTextCtrl) where text
should be, it's empty; the text is there just without a font. Notice the
line numbers are dotted boxes also.

Middle: My own application which works but those dotted boxes are
supposed to be text strings in Bold, other non bold items show just
fine.

Bottom: The wxPython demo app, all those dotted boxes are styled text.

BOA Constructor which is also wxPython (wxWindows) based is unusable.

My guess was that the bluecurves gtk1 theme was missing some specific
font instruction. So I went to /usr/share/themes/Bluecurve/gtk/gtkrc and
added
font = "-microsoft-tahoma-......" to the bluecurve-default class.

That didn't work at all, although, gtk1 apps like SciTE did switch to
tahoma. But other apps didn't, like Evolution, Gimp, Dia.

So where are those apps (Evo, Gimp, etc..) looking for their theme fonts
settings? I used to be able to control it from gnomecc but that isn't
there anymore. 

It seems to be a character encoding problem, like its set to something
other than iso-8859-1. Which would produce those dotted boxes.

All this worked right out of the box on RH 7.3

HELP :)
thx
