Description of problem:

On the Fedora 10 preview release ISO (Fedora-10-Preview-i386-DVD.iso), two font
RPMs are not included. The closest matches for the missing fonts are:

xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi-7.2-6.fc9.noarch.rpm
xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-9-100dpi-7.2-6.fc9.noarch.rpm

Absent these fonts, Mathematica 5.0 will complain about missing fonts and will
render text improperly. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:

Install and run Fedora 10 preview release. Install and run Mathematica 5.0
(this likely affects other Mathematica versions as well).

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install and run Fedora 10 preview release.
2. Install and run Mathematica 5.0.

Actual results:

1. Error message at Mathematica startup about missing fonts (see attachment).
2. Improperly rendered text within Mathematica.

Expected results:

No error messages, properly rendered text.

Additional info:

Mathematica tends to rely on system fonts for proper operation to a greater
degree than most applications.
