Interesting, because I didn't update to fc17, nor use the alpha in my final test 
machine, I installed from the install DVD when released. And I still see "True" 
after logout from a user. Not sure I notice it elsewhere.

(runs to logout of the fc18 test machine)

Do not see it on my fc18 test machine, also installed from production DVD, and 
fully up-to-date as of 3am.

Other than now I know where I saw that, I don't know that the cause of the issue 
is advanced by this test.

These tests may actually shed some light:

fc17-64:root> find /etc -type f | xargs grep -li 'font.*test'
/etc/prelink.cache
/etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch
/etc/mateconf/schemas/pluma.schemas
/etc/fonts/fonts.dtd
fc17-64:root>


fc18-64:root> find /etc -type f | xargs grep -li 'font.*test'
/etc/prelink.cache
/etc/ld.so.cache
/etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch
/etc/udev/hwdb.bin
fc18-64:root>
