No fonts found; this probably means that the fontconfig library is not correctly configured. You may need to edit the fonts.conf configuration file. More information about fontconfig can be found in the fontconfig(3) manual page and on http://fontconfig.org

So I tried installing a few fonts:

# yum install xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi.noarch

Still the same error.

Ok, found the magic package:

liberation-fonts
