Did you verify the SHA1SUM of your downloaded copy?

No need to download everything again. Take a few minutes to learn
how to use rsync, pick an rsync server from the Fedora list of mirrors,
then "fix" your downloaded file with rsync.

As above, did you ask k3b to verify the burnt DVD?

In this case it is just a fonts package, but if a more important

damaged installation that doesn't work. Just don't install from
bad/unverified installation media.
