Thank you. I was coming to the conclusion that you need to do all
three: mkfontdir, then restart xfs, then shut X down completely and
restart it. For those of us who use kickstart files, adding a suitable
mkfontdir to the post-installation stuff should be an acceptable
workaround.

I read the bug report to which you referred,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=174416. Please
check to see that all font packages do the right thing. I installed
several fonts. If the scripts are missing only from the one package,
doing so should have cured the problem. If I recall correctly, it did
not.
