Fonts are now held in /etc/X11/fontpath.d, however the error message is unclear about which font is causing the problem. Try: # ls /etc/X11/fontpath.d/*/fonts.dir and look for missing fonts.dir files. BTW, is this is a version of Mathmatica specifically for Fedora 9? If not, the problem might be that it's assuming the old-style xfs setup. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
