xawtv is missing an xorg-x11-fonts-?? package dependency. It is possible to install and run xawtv without the right font package, it which case xawtv says "Oops: can't load any font" and aborts. I'm not sure which exact rpm it needs. I installed all xorg-x11-fonts-* packages to fix the problem. - Mike
It requires at least some bitmap fonts (normally from /usr/share/X11/fonts). Different rpms can provide this, hence a solution could be just to add "Requires: /usr/share/X11/fonts", although it seems not reliable. You can try to leave only xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi -- it should satisfy. Actually, all the font specifications for xawtv are set in /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/Xawtv file. But I don't know whether non-bitmap is allowable at all or not...
What font packages are installed on your system? Run "rpm -qa \*font\*" to obtain a list...
Sorry, I've reconfigured the system and I am not using xawtv currently, so I can't provide any additional details. This packaging glitch is not affecting me currently, so you can close the bug if you want. Or fix it :-) - Mike
