Do I need to separately install the tv-fonts mentioned here:

http://linux.bytesex.org/xawtv/tvfonts.html

I asked the same thing a few months ago, or rather reported that I had just added a bunch of fonts to the 60+ I normally carry. I just loaded a boatload of fonts and one was right, because I got to the next step after that.

I suggest that it's a bug, a missing dependency in the RPM. Perhaps the site you found will tell you which one you needed, I used a shotgun approach and added a dozen or so to get the actual task moving.
