The problem with fonts is in the urw-fonts as far as I know. See the
bugzilla report about it:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=140584
Downgrading to urw-fonts-2.1-7 from FC-2 fixes this problem for me also.
Maybe someone should renumber urw-fonts-2.1-7 as urw-fonts-2.2-7 and
release them on the servers as an upgrade till the **real** upgrade is
ready.
BTW: Does anyone know anything about gs-8.15?
Thanks very much:
