Start with a yum install xorg-x11-fonts-misc and depending on what fonts you're wanting to use, you may need some of xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-14-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-14-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-15-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-15-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-2-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-2-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-9-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-9-75dpi xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 xorg-x11-fonts-cyrillic.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ethiopic.noarch This is a packaging bug with Emacs. Alas the emacs package is presently unmaintained, but there's a few of us awaiting approval to take the package over, at which point the bug will get fixed. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469220 HTH Jonathan -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
