This seems to be an unsupported configuration. You might want to try the following (works OK on my demo-machine, Sun4/X11R5/Motif):
You must recompile the case-specific fonts. Make a backup of ?/cdes/admin/fonts/case_1.1. Recreate this directory and run bdftopcf on each .bdf file in ?/cdes/admin/fonts. This will create fonts usable by an X11R5 server. Don't forget to run mkfontdir afterwards.
If you are running against a v7 database, make sure that the NLS_LANG environment variable is undefined. Also, make sure that the LANGUAGE environment variable is set to the *same* characterset as the v7 database. Otherwise, characterset conversion will mess up the vector-graphics in the diagrammers.
hope this helps,
