I think I figured out what caused my problem. I recently installed Microsoft Truetype fonts as found here: http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc3.shtml#ttf
I removed the rpm, but emacs still complains about no fonts. Adobe Acrobat Reader also no longer works.
I'm guessing the post script messed up the xfs font path.
I haven't seen the post script - but the proper way to alter the font path is thru chkfontpath
IE -
%post
if [ "$1" = 1 ]; then
/usr/sbin/chkfontpath --add %{_datadir}/fonts/coreweb
fi
fc-cache%preun
if [ "$1" = 0 ]; then
/usr/sbin/chkfontpath --remove %{_datadir}/fonts/coreweb
fi%postun fc-cache

Not all distros use chkfontpath, so it is possible the rpm tries to edit the fontpath manually and messed up.
I would expect though that X11 wouldn't start if the font path was screwed up - but maybe there's a default fallback for X11 that isn't there for emacs?
Anyway - IF the rpm you speak of is to blame, it's probably in how it added itself to the the xfs fontpath.
