Best guess is that they are from your machine's X server for your display and that you are missing a few requested fonts.

Do you get small rectangles instead of some chars being displayed?...
Or have you not noticed anything missing?

Good luck,
Martin

while I've never had this occur with boinc, I've had similar messages from other apps relating to the sytem wide /etc/gtk/gtkrc or individual user ~/.gtkrc files on our Debian machines. Presently no users have a .gtkrc in their home directories, and /etc/gtk/gtkrc is a symlink to /etc/gtk/gtkrc.iso-8859-15 with no reports of strange font displays or warning messages.

The only thing ive noticed is the total lack of any information on the statistics tab, no matter what sub you click on.

i search for gtkrc under yasts package installer but come up with nothing...
was pretty sure this was a font issue, was basically trying to figure out how to get them. searching the web only seems to come up with a few hundred hits on. the same error, but no solution other then ignoring it.
