Problem with NVIDIA & FC2

[rab at nauticom.net]

I upgraded from RH9 to FC2 and used yum to update. Everything seemed fine.
I used yum for some more updates. After doing this I noticed problems with
menu text (underlined letters showed up in green boxes). I re-installed
the NVIDIA binary drivers (had to - could not get X to start). Now the
NVIDA screen shows up clearly but X refuses to start complaining about
fonts. I have included the messages below.

How can I fix this?
