The work around in the bugzilla entry:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=140584

says that installing the urw-fonts package from FC2 is a workaround. So
I did this:

1. Downloaded urw-fonts-2.1-7.noarch.rpm from an FC2 site
2. rpm --oldpackage -hFv urw-fonts-2.1-7.noarch.rpm
3. Edit /etc/yum.conf and add the line under "gpgcheck=1"

exclude=urw-fonts.noarch

If an update does arrive, just delete the exclude line and yum will
update the fonts.
