This is intentional; much like you need to install base-x for any particular local desktop, you also need to install the fonts group. |
Created attachment 476731 [details] gdm with no fonts Description of problem: If you install Fedora from minimal and then go to groupinstall the XFCE or GNOME desktop environments, there are no font packages listed as dependencies. This results in a horribly broken experience when gdm first starts, as seen in my attached screenshot. If the dejavu-sans-fonts package was listed as a dependency, everything would work fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I'm not sure what version number How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install fedora minimal 2. yum groupinstall 'XFCE' or 'GNOME Desktop Environment' 3. all characters are boxes because no fonts are installed Actual results: no characters display Expected results: dejavu fonts are installed Additional info:
