twm: unable to open fontset "-adobe-
the same failure had surfaced in earlier ubuntu releases, tho sadly the solutions&

aren't helping.
the bionic version of twm works fine, even if invoked in focal. also the focal versions of ctwm and vtwm work fine.

the error report includes my custom system.twmrc, but with it or without it, and with or without LC_CTYPE=C LANG=C (all combinations), twm still gives the same error and fails to launch.
