This is not an xfig problem then, but an urw-fonts problem, and one which I believe is already fixed, but I'll leave judging that to the urw-fonts maintainer. Changing component and re-assigning.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

I have the same issue on F17.
(In reply to comment #5) > I have the same issue on F17. .. and the fix in the description solved the issue for me, but this should be fixed in the package.
Yes, I have the same problem in Fedora 17. It stopped me from using xfig to produce diagrams, because xfig uses urw nimbus roman no9 as its "Times Roman" font.
google search led me here too. I'm on RHEL/CentOS 6 and things are remarkably similar to Fedora 17. First, the 'quick fix' - it is only necessary to run (as root): mkfontscale /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 [and 'xset fp rehash' as the current user if you want the currently-running font server to pick up changes.] I think urw-fonts is missing one or more Requires, because the postinstall scriptlet seems to be doing the right thing, but it's not being done (fonts.dir, fonts.scale are not created). Reinstalling the urw-fonts package also 'fixes' the problem: # rm /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/fonts.{scale,dir} # date Mon Feb 25 18:24:42 EST 2013 # yum -d 0 -y reinstall urw-fonts # # # ls -l /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/fonts.{scale,dir} -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31050 Feb 25 18:24 /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/fonts.dir -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31050 Feb 25 18:24 /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/fonts.scale Below shows both utilities come from xorg-x11-font-utils: rpm -qf `which mkfontdir` `which mkfontscale` I'm not an expert, but perhaps add to the spec: Requires: xorg-x11-font-utils My installation logs also show urw-fonts being installed before xorg-x11-font-utils. That shouldn't happen! :-) Thanks!
Indeed - it's clear that the post phase should require xorg-x11-font-utils, so I went ahead and used my provenpackager privileges to fix this, since the bug has been open for more than four years(!).
