The first issue can be fixed by patching luit to search under /usr/share/X11/fonts rather then /usr/share/fonts/X11, my thinking behind adding the symlink was that their will likely be other apps with the same problem as luit. So I asked my fellow graphics team members about why we were using /usr/share/X11/fonts instead of /usr/share/fonts/X11 in the first place, and there did not seem be a special reason, so I added the symlink. Since the symlink is clearly causing issues I'll do an update removing the symlink and another update fixing luit, and push them as one update in bodhi, which should resolve both issues. As said their will likely be more cases of the "luit" problem hiding elsewhere, but since the symlink is causing issues, we will need to fix those on a case by case basis.
