You can find m17n in development.  
rpm -qa m17*
m17n-lib-devel-1.5.1-1.fc9.i386
m17n-lib-devel-1.5.1-1.fc9.x86_64
m17n-lib-1.5.1-1.fc9.x86_64
m17n-lib-1.5.1-1.fc9.i386
m17n-db-1.5.1-1.fc8.noarch

My libotf package is just (hopefully) about to be accepted.  You can find it here:
http://nbecker.dyndns.org/RPM

You can find my emacs-23.0.60.1 svn srpm as of yesterday there as well.

I suggest this in your startup:
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(font . "DejaVu Sans Mono-9"))
