Ah...that's it.  If you couldnt tell already, I am still learning Linux. :)   Before I started on mythtv, I hade never worked with Linux at all, so it's taking me a little longer to get with the program.  I tried reading up on rpm, but the man page is pretty darn tedious. 

Appreciate the help.

You didn't download the package first. :-)

Either:

# wget \
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/2/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/urw-fonts-2.1-7.noarch.rpm
# rpm -Uvh --oldpackage urw-fonts-2.1-7.noarch.rpm

or:

# rpm -Uvh --oldpackage \
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/2/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/urw-fonts-2.1-7.noarch.rpm
