Hi Ed,

   Yes, I should have been more specific. After setting up RPMFusion I
install xmms like this:

   yum -y install xmms xmms-mp3 xmms-faad2 xmms-pulse xmms-skins

   I then install chess:

   yum -y install gnuchess xboard

   I forgot to mention this is on the Fedora 21 Mate-Compbiz spin. I can
reproduce it easily. So far only xmms seems to have this font issue, I
haven't noticed it on anything else.
