I could reproduce this on F-10.

More infos about this can be found in the comments of bug #466404:

When fontforge crashed on me, only these two files referenced "cour.pfa" in any
way:

/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1/fonts.dir
/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1/fonts.scale

After I uninstalled and reinstalled xorg-x11-fonts-Type1, fontforge worked
again and the two files didn't reference cour.pfa anymore. It seems to me that
the mkfontdir, mkfontscale commands in the %post/%postun scripts fail to remove
references to fonts that are removed from the fonts.dir, fonts.scale files. In
that case, the problem is not in the fonts packages, but in these tools.
