Description of problem:
A php script is setup to launch 'dot' to render a graph. 'dot' can't use the system truetype 
fonts. The following log is given:

Jan  2 13:12:54 voltaic kernel: audit(1104689574.017:0): avc:  denied  { search } for  
pid=17221 exe=/usr/bin/dot name=fonts dev=dm-0 ino=966875 scontext=root:
system_r:httpd_sys_script_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:fonts_t tclass=dir
Jan  2 13:12:54 voltaic kernel: audit(1104689574.017:0): avc:  denied  { read } for  
pid=17221 exe=/usr/bin/dot name=fonts dev=dm-0 ino=966875 scontext=root:
system_r:httpd_sys_script_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:fonts_t tclass=dir

Priviledges for the fonts are:
ls -laZ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/
drwxr-xr-x  root     root     system_u:object_r:fonts_t        .
drwxr-xr-x  root     root     system_u:object_r:fonts_t        ..
-rw-r--r--  root     root     system_u:object_r:fonts_t        andalemo.ttf
-rw-r--r--  root     root     system_u:object_r:fonts_t        arialbd.ttf
....




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-2.58

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
    

Expected Results:  The truetype fonts should be used in rendering

Additional info:

httpd-2.0.52-3.1, php-4.3.10-3.2, graphviz-2.0-1.fc1 (from http://www.graphviz.org/
Download_linux.php )

Adding the following to /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy/domains/misc/local.te 
#allow access to fonts
allow httpd_sys_script_t fonts_t:dir { read search getattr };
allow httpd_sys_script_t fonts_t:file { read getattr };

 and reloading the policy allows this to work.
