May I ask what command did generate this packages list? diff'ing w/ the
result of `rpm -qa|grep -i font|sort` is not really handy.

Yeah I noticed that my NEdit font settings ask for "12", whereas
xfontsel, for this same font type, proposes 11. That didn't solve
anything to me anyway.

I have similar problems setting up proper fonts for GTK+-1 application
too, BTW.
