Well, between 5.6~cvs20081118-9 and 5.6-1 not much changed.... except
some small stuff about XFT fonts. A new comment (+ some code) in
source/nedit.c says:

 If using OpenMotif 2.3.3 or better, support XFT fonts. XFT is
 claimed supported in OpenMotif 2.3.0, but doesn't work very well,
 as insensitive text buttons are blank. That bug is fixed in 2.3.3.

And the code goes on to declare some variables, although I don't think
they are used (there is a check for USE_XFT==1 and I don't see it set
anywhere). It seems that with Graham and my setup, this works as
intended, but in the setup of Dave, Qwerty and Mazen, things go wrong.

I'll try to figure out where these fonts are coming from and how to
change it, the same comment as quoted above mentions it should be
possible via:
$ nedit -xrm '*textFontList: myfont'
