> Of course your problems may be related to fonts -- have you installed any custom fonts?

Thank you, Stefan Salewski, fonts were my problem.  I found this list on a blog:
http://xed.ch/help/gentoo.html
..and I brute force just installed all of them:

emerge arkpandora artwiz-aleczapka-en cheapskatefonts corefonts dejavu font-adobe-100dpi font-adobe-75dpi font-adobe-utopia-100dpi font-adobe-utopia-75dpi font-adobe-utopia-type1 font-alias font-bh-100dpi font-bh-75dpi font-bh-lucidatypewriter-100dpi font-bh-lucidatypewriter-75dpi font-bh-ttf font-bh-type1 font-bitstream-100dpi font-bitstream-75dpi font-bitstream-speedo font-bitstream-type1 font-cursor-misc font-misc-misc font-dec-misc font-ibm-type1 font-micro-misc font-schumacher-misc font-sony-misc font-sun-misc font-util font-xfree86-type1 freefont-ttf freefonts lfpfonts-fix lfpfonts-var liberation-fonts terminus-font ttf-bitstream-vera urw-fonts

..and now gschem is working as I remember it.  Thank you to everyone for your help.  Sorry about the html email.
