Well, that is what I got from the spanish translator. I'll contact him.

But perhaps we have to rename the translation file.

I do not speak french either. I'll forward this point to the french 
translator.

For the german translation: Well, after pressing "u" to invoke 
"savepos", I git a mostly translated screen, only the button "save" is 
missing a trnslation.
See the attached screenshot. Except "Save" I do not see a missing 
translation. I'll take a look why save is not translated at all (but I 
have an idea: The localisation string of "save" have to be used at this 
peace of code, I guess it is not used).

I do not get any warning (well, obviuosly I have these fonts available). 
OpenSuse deals with that problem as follows: Their version of Xaw3d 
makes missing font sets a hard error instead of a warning - therefore 
this problem cannot occur with OpenSuse.

The Xaw3d patches in the git Xaw3d repository mentioned in the 
README.I18N file shipped with GNU gv include this change.
