RE: Fonts not found in Red Hat Linux
Yes, I tried that fc-cache command and it gave the locations of where fonts are stored/installed. Let me do some more reading!

Re: Fonts not found in Red Hat Linux
Hi Roberto, RHEL has quite expansive documentation[1] and I'd suggest looking there and Google should cover most of your questions. The synaptic manager is an Ubuntu (maybe Debian) application for managing apt (the package installation manager), RHEL's apt-equivalent is Yum, though I don't know whether it has an equivalent GUI (synaptic manager). Depending on what you're trying to do, I'd suggest (especially if you're using custom fonts) you configure those fonts manually[2] rather than using auto-detect, it'll probably save you some hassle later down the line.
