Not a major clue ... fonts = trouble in X world... Fonts are the reason for
most dependencies with XFree86/X.org stuff - for example, gd uses freetype
which is often linked to X - that's why libpng causes dependency issues
sometimes.

Let's think.

(1) Are you running Xfs (X font server)?  Does it know about Helvetica?

(2) Is the font installed?  

$ locate helv
...
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/helvB08-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/helvB08.pcf.gz
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/helvB10-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz
...

So

$ rpm -q --whatprovides
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/helvB08-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz
xorg-x11-100dpi-fonts-6.7.0-14


(3) Figure out which text package you are using and ask in THEIR mailing
list...

$ rpm -q graphviz -R
... 
libfontconfig.so.1  
libfreetype.so.6  
...  

So I'd check for freetype documentation/mailing lists...

(4) Check the GraphViz lists.

Sorry, that's all I can think of.

Burton,

Its OK, I prefer source over rpm anyways. I couldn't connect via csv until I
got our firewall guy to reconfigure it, which he did today. So I downloaded
via cvs and the rest is history.

At anyrate, I have the graphviz installed now but... Now I get an error
indicating that the font helvetica is missing.
I installed the graphviz recomended freefont package but I don't know what
to do about a missing font, I expect the freefont package to have taken care
of it but I guess helvetica comes with something else. Any suggestions?
