Most probably a font problem you can fix.
Look for msttcorefonts there is a spec file you download to build the
rpm, pre-requisites are rpm-build, redhat-rpm-config, cabextract
(epel), maybe make.
Put the spec file in /usr/src/redhat/SPEC then from that directory run
'rpmbuild -ba msttcorefonts.spec' and after it downloads, extracts and
builds the rpm it should be in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch. Just rpm -
ivh it from there and save a copy for future use.
Sometimes the font mirrors hang, so if it hangs downloading something
just ctrl-c out of it and re-run the rpmbuild.
