If this rpm has not been changed since the 7.x release it will not work
on 8.0. XftConfig, where Michael's old font installer addded the
fontpath, is obsolete.
cat /etc/X11/XftConfig.README-OBSOLETE
# IMPORTANT NOTICE about XftConfig:
#
# The XftConfig config file has been deprecated and obsoleted by
# /etc/fonts/fonts.conf, which is the new font configuration file for
Xft2, and
# is provided by "fontconfig". A backward compatible Xft1 library is
also
# provided which has been converted to use fontconfig also and provide
users
# with a single way of configuring client side fonts, while retaining
binary
# compatibility. For information on configuring fonts using fontconfig,
# please consult the fontconfig documentation.
