gnumeric col and row headings font

[Bee]

I installed gnumeric 1.8.4 from macports.

It works fine except the column letters and row numbers are missing a  
font. Column letters start as 0041 0042 0043 ie the ascii hex for A B  
C, similarly for the row numbers.

googling finds someone on a linux machine with the same problem, but  
that solution is not applicable to the Mac.

Anyone else see this?

Is there a solution?
