Ahh, ok. Perhaps it's just a matter of installing xorg-x11-xfs and
having that run? I believe that it was disabled by default in F8. I
haven't used any apps that still use the ancient X font setup instead
of fontconfig though, so I don't really know what the best solution
for making fonts work for those apps is these days.
