No, I don't think that would help you. I'd first try running, as root, 'fc-cache -f'; this will recreate your font database from scratch. I've had one report of a problem where a certain font got fontconfig completely confused, though I've been unable to reproduce the problem: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=87992 Do you have fonts on your system that didn't ship with Red Hat Linux 9?
