From that point on, I have religiously installed every font family I could find, and have never seen the issue recur. I suspected, and proved with experiment then, that it was a particular font family or rendering system difference. Here is what I have installed in F15 (you are welcome to note the absurdity): rpm -qa | grep font | grep -v texlive | sort -u abattis-cantarell-fonts-0.0.6-1.fc15.noarch ctan-cm-lgc-fonts-common-0.5-18.fc15.noarch ctan-cm-lgc-roman-fonts-0.5-18.fc15.noarch ctan-cm-lgc-sans-fonts-0.5-18.fc15.noarch ctan-cm-lgc-typewriter-fonts-0.5-18.fc15.noarch dejavu-fonts-common-2.33-1.fc15.noarch dejavu-sans-fonts-2.33-1.fc15.noarch dejavu-sans-mono-fonts-2.33-1.fc15.noarch dejavu-serif-fonts-2.33-1.fc15.noarch fluid-soundfont-common-3.1-5.fc15.noarch fluid-soundfont-lite-patches-3.1-5.fc15.noarch fontconfig-2.8.0-3.fc15.x86_64 fontconfig-devel-2.8.0-3.fc15.x86_64 fontpackages-filesystem-1.44-2.fc15.noarch ghostscript-fonts-5.50-24.fc15.noarch iso8859-2-100dpi-fonts-1.0-25.fc15.noarch iso8859-2-75dpi-fonts-1.0-25.fc15.noarch iso8859-2-fonts-common-1.0-25.fc15.noarch iso8859-2-misc-fonts-1.0-25.fc15.noarch jomolhari-fonts-0.003-10.fc15.noarch khmeros-base-fonts-5.0-11.fc15.noarch khmeros-fonts-common-5.0-11.fc15.noarch liberation-fonts-common-1.06.0.20100721-5.fc15.noarch liberation-mono-fonts-1.06.0.20100721-5.fc15.noarch liberation-sans-fonts-1.06.0.20100721-5.fc15.noarch liberation-serif-fonts-1.06.0.20100721-5.fc15.noarch libfontenc-1.0.5-4.fc15.x86_64 libfonts-1.1.3-2.fc15.x86_64 libreoffice-opensymbol-fonts-3.3.2.2-7.fc15.noarch libXfont-1.4.3-2.fc15.x86_64 lklug-fonts-0.6-5.20090803cvs.fc15.noarch lohit-assamese-fonts-2.4.3-8.fc15.noarch lohit-bengali-fonts-2.4.3-7.fc15.noarch lohit-devanagari-fonts-2.4.5-1.fc15.noarch lohit-gujarati-fonts-2.4.5-1.fc15.noarch lohit-kannada-fonts-2.4.5-8.fc15.noarch lohit-oriya-fonts-2.4.3-9.fc15.noarch lohit-punjabi-fonts-2.4.4-4.fc15.noarch lohit-tamil-fonts-2.4.5-9.fc15.noarch lohit-telugu-fonts-2.4.5-9.fc15.noarch msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch paktype-naqsh-fonts-3.0-5.fc15.noarch paktype-tehreer-fonts-2.0-11.fc15.noarch paratype-pt-sans-fonts-20100408-2.fc15.noarch sil-abyssinica-fonts-1.0-10.fc15.noarch sil-padauk-fonts-2.4-7.fc15.noarch smc-fonts-common-4.4-5.fc15.noarch smc-meera-fonts-4.4-5.fc15.noarch stix-fonts-1.0.0-2.fc15.noarch thai-scalable-fonts-common-0.4.15-2.fc15.noarch thai-scalable-waree-fonts-0.4.15-2.fc15.noarch un-core-dotum-fonts-1.0.2-0.16.080608.fc15.noarch un-core-fonts-common-1.0.2-0.16.080608.fc15.noarch urw-fonts-2.4-10.fc15.noarch vlgothic-fonts-20110414-1.fc15.noarch vlgothic-fonts-common-20110414-1.fc15.noarch wqy-zenhei-fonts-0.9.46-2.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-cyrillic-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ethiopic-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-100dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-14-100dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-14-75dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-15-100dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-15-75dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-1-75dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-2-100dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-2-75dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-9-100dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-ISO8859-9-75dpi-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-misc-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-fonts-Type1-7.5-3.fc15.noarch xorg-x11-font-utils-7.5-6.fc15.x86_64 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
