How do fix Fedora 13s missing fonts problem?
For some unknown reason Red Hat decided to remove the Helvetica and the legacy fixed-point bitmap fonts. These very basic fonts have been a staple in Linux distributions for more than a decade and now you need to install these “optional” fonts. Try doing: yum install xorg-x11-fonts-misc yum install xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi-7.2-6.fc9.noarch For more information on the fonts baudline needs read the comment at the end of this blog post.
