A request: please wrap your lines at <80 characters or your posts are
unreadable. Although I've been able to reformat your post it will be
archived with the long line length which will be unpleasant to read in a
browser.
Answer to your question:
This is answered in Red Hat's release notes (more
/usr/share/doc/redhat-release-8.0/RELEASE-NOTES-i386)
o Red Hat Linux now uses Xft for fonts in GNOME and KDE, which uses
fontconfig for configuring fonts. The old style Xft config file
/etc/X11/XftConfig is no longer used or supported, having been
replaced by the new unified fontconfig method of configuration. The
fontconfig config file can be customized by editing
/etc/fonts/fonts.conf file.
If you have fonts that you would like to add to your configuration,
you can copy them to ~/.fonts (or /usr/share/fonts), and run
fc-cache directory. The fonts will then be available.
Does this help with your problem?
