help with missing font (Fedora 15)

Hi all,

I am missing a font (for a while) but I can not figure out what it is.
Basically, I get something like this on my help pages when using R.:


      1 lm                    package:stats                    R
      Documentatio

      5 Description:
      6 
      7      <80><98>lm<80><99> is used to fit linear models.  It can be us     
      7 ed to carry out
      8      regression, single stratum analysis of variance and analysis of
      9      covariance (although <80><98>aov<80><99> may provide a more co      
      9 nvenient interface
     10      for these).

.....


While the wrapping around of the line is problematic, I don't know how
to deal with this (it also happens with man pages, as in man gcc). 

      1 GCC(1)                              GNU

      6        gcc - GNU project C and C++ compiler

      8 SYNOPSIS
      9        gcc [-c|-S|-E] [-std=standard]
     10            [-g] [-pg] [-Olevel]
     11            [-Wwarn...] [-pedantic]

     15            [-o outfile] [@file] infile...
     16 
     17        Only the most useful options are listed here; see below for th     17 e
     18        remainder.  g++ accepts mostly the same options as gcc.
.......

Can I get rid of those line numbers? This did not happen for me
before, from what I recall. 

I am using Fedora 15 with the LXDE spin. I don't recall having this
problem before Fedora 13. So, I think somewhere down the line, I lost
a font.

I have the following fonts installed? What am I missing? OR do I have
too much?
