I'd like to express support for this too since I'm currently involved in
a project that would benefit from a working xawtv (in Fedora 11.) Too
bad it's broken due to missing fonts.
[rlc@deafeng3 ~]$ rpm -q xawtv

It was noted for fc10 that xawtv requires fonts which are (a) not
loaded by default, and (b) omitted from the dependencies. I note that
this is still the case. When it was discussed some time ago someone
said there was a BZ entry for it, so I didn't file one, but I can't
find it now.
After watching me for about half an hour when I said "yum pulls in the
things you need," the owner of the laptop and his friends concluded
that Linux is just for hobby use, they will stick with Windows. The
limits of a 4GB thumb drive didn't leave room to download every known
font, and fc10 won't record from a webcam half the time even when
xawtv "works" as well as it can.
I will look for the bug Tuesday, clearly no one is going to fix it
before the release, since it's gone at least six weeks without a fix now.
