font is not found and show up as squares

1

Installing Wireshark on Mountain Lion with X11 installed, Wireshark opens, but all of the fonts show up as squares. I get a pile of errors when I run Wireshark from the X11 terminal. Some examples are below:

(Wireshark-bin:17459): GdkPixbuf-WARNING : Error loading XPM image loader: Image type 'xpm' is not supported (Wireshark-bin:17459): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL : g_object_ref: assertion G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (Wireshark-bin:17459): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_set_icon_list: assertionGDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed (Wireshark-bin:17459): Pango-CRITICAL **: No modules found: No builtin or dynamically loaded modules were found. PangoFc will not work correctly. This probably means there was an error in the creation of: '/usr/local/etc/pango/pango.modules'

I have tried running wireshark from the x11 window with sudo, but that had no impact on the issue... I am guessing we are missing a part of the X11 components or need to install more than X11. I have tried uninstalling wireshark and X11 and reinstalling, but it has had no impact.
