See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=174416
Workaround for now:
* Run "mkfontdir /usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi", then
* Run "service xfs restart".
* Log out, then back in again.
This should be fixed in xorg-x11-fonts-1.0.0-3, which should be in
rawhide by now.
PS: In future, please provide a subject. Since a lot of people decide
which emails they're going to read based solely on the subject, you
will get more coverage.
