greetings.
in an attempt to display correct fonts in firefox instead of squares with binary values, i installed wrong fonts and made things worse.
how do i find out what fonts are, as i did not think to make note of what i was adding?
While I see yum.log was mentioned, I didn't see mention of yum history.
If you type it (you have to use root or sudo), you get a history of your yum transactoins. So you might see something like
184 | update | 2016-08-20 16:48 | Update
(Sorry if formatting is off). In your case, you might see
185 install bad_font |<date> |Install
You can then use
yum undo 185
This will undo the yum transaction that installed the font.
I realize you've solved your issue for the moment, but the history option is quite useful.
