there seem to be very few iso8859-1 (latin-1) fonts. in particular the lucidatypewriter fonts aren't there for 8859-1. but it does have 8859-2. just playing with xfontsel i see about 800 8859-1 fonts and 2000 8859-2. did something get left out? i did an everything install. and further poking with yum doesn't show any other font packages that could be installed. # yum list all fonts\* Setting up Repos base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 updates 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 contrib 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 addons 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files base : ################################################## 1407/1407 updates : ################################################## 9/9 extras : ################################################## 24/24 Installed Packages fonts-ISO8859-2.noarch 1.0-13 installed fonts-ISO8859-2-100dpi.noarch 1.0-13 installed fonts-ISO8859-2-75dpi.noarch 1.0-13 installed fonts-KOI8-R.noarch 1.0-7 installed fonts-KOI8-R-100dpi.noarch 1.0-7 installed fonts-KOI8-R-75dpi.noarch 1.0-7 installed fonts-arabic.noarch 1.5-3 installed fonts-bengali.noarch 0.1-3 installed fonts-hebrew.noarch 0.100-4 installed fonts-ja.noarch 8.0-16 installed fonts-xorg-100dpi.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-75dpi.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-ISO8859-14-100dpi.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-ISO8859-14-75dpi.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-ISO8859-15-100dpi.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-ISO8859-15-75dpi.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-ISO8859-2-100dpi.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-ISO8859-2-75dpi.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-ISO8859-9-100dpi.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-ISO8859-9-75dpi.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-base.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-cyrillic.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-syriac.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed fonts-xorg-truetype.noarch 6.8.1-1 installed
i have tracked this down to redhat. there is a bugzilla entry for fc3 (139108) that i have added a comment that this impacts rhel4 as well. if there are any real rhel4 users, can you double check your system and complain if you don't have any lucidatypewriter fonts for iso8859-1? this really traces back to an x.org makefile bug.
