--- Comment #8 from Chris Schanzle <[email protected]> ---
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!
