I assume Sun is testing things this way; it make little sense for them to 
do otherwise.  However, you can make sure most things are working by
disabling Render support in your ~/.fonts.conf file:

	<?xml version="1.0"?>
	<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
	<!-- ~/.fonts.conf for per-user font configuration -->
	<fontconfig>
	
	<!-- Disables use of Render extension -->
	<match target="font">
	        <edit name="render" mode="assign"><bool>no</bool></edit>
	</match>
	
	</fontconfig>

I just wrote an Xaw based app for viewing fonts that you might play with,
it should work on vanilla Solaris.
