Frank, same problem as xawtv, the rpm is broken and doesn't have a dependency 
for a required font. I think I reported this against either F10 or an early 
F11-pre or rawhide.

I got a response in chat that this is not a bug, fixing it would force people to 
use some font rather than pick your own. Of course that means you get to waste 
hours trying to find *any* font which will work.

I have these installed, xawtv still doesn't work for me:
   Oops, will get munged, attached instead.
