can mgr be set to use common fonts?

Yes, and?

Which Linux version and kernel? (Your kernel contains a list of charsets)
Which BOINC version?
Which native language?

lol, you edited your post to answer part of my questions. ;)

For me just the same:
Ubuntu 6.10
When installing manually BOINC 5.4.9
sh boinc_5.4.9_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh

I got the err msgs
Gdk-WARNING **: Missing charsets in FontSet creation
Gdk-WARNING **: JISX0208.1983-0
Gdk-WARNING **: KSC5601.1987-0
Gdk-WARNING **: GB2312.1980-0
Gdk-WARNING **: JISX0201.1976-0

But installing the BOINC with synaptic (the packet manager for Ubuntu), the version 5.4.11 is installed without this errormsgs (at least I didn't notice any). But, as I said in http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=1308
not only the 'show grafics' on the task-tab is permanently deactivated, but there are also a couple of error-msgs in the standard-error-out-file of BOIN (var/lib/boinc-client/slots/0/stderr.txt) that I cannot interpret

'Graphics are disabled due to configuration...
# random seed: 3072481
# cpu_run_time_pref: 10800

I tried the synaptic version [5.4.11] of manager but it never could open any clients or find any existing projects

I searched for the fonts in synaptic and they appear to be Chinese and Japanese character sets. The 5.4.9 version does display much poorer [ugly old fonts] than 5.4.11 Ubuntu edgy build which uses the desktop fonts.

Can the manager be set to use desktop / font server fonts instead of GTK, or is a rebuild needed? No big deal as it works now anyways.

Ubuntu 6.10 german version.

What I learned from
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/boinc/+bug/68854
that it is necessary not only to install the BOINC manager, but also (and additionally) the client with synaptics (go there an search for all sources containing the string 'boinc'). This was a new experience for me, since with windows all happens at once: manager + client will be installed.

Installation with synaptic - apart from the errors in std-out - worked smoothly and at the very moment Rosetta is running fine.

Another strange thing for me:
At the BOINC download-page the version 5.4.9 is for Unix systems, 5.4.11 for windows. Nevertheless Ubuntu-synaptic downloads the 5.4.11-version. Frank S. Thomas, who was kindly enough to answer to my problems described in the error-report mentioned before, wrote on 2006-11-12 in that thread, that the problems do not arise from the version 5.4.11 but because of the missing client, and told me how to install (read there for further instructions).

Can the manager be set to use desktop / font server fonts instead of GTK, or is a rebuild needed? No big deal as it works now anyways.

No idea, I am new to unix and hoped that Ubuntu is as user-friendly as windows (no sysadmin-tricks necessary to install and run application software).
