This sounds to me like it might be a problem with libgtk1.2 rather than putty.
See for instance <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=234994> which is correlated with use of TrueType fonts (although the error there appears to always be BadValue, rather than BadMatch). (Clearly pterm starts for some people, so there must be something specific about your situation that's breaking it.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
