Quite a few times a day, both the latest Pan & Firefox available in standard CentOS repositories elicit what (now) appears to be a CentOS request to install fonts, e.g.: http://i39.tinypic.com/2i7qm2p.png
This latest message says: Pan newsreader wants to install fonts - Thai - Cherokee
At first I had thought it was Pan and Firefox causing these messages, but I was just told it's actually CentOS which is making these requests.
Hence, I ask: Q: How do I debug why these requests are being made?
And, more importantly: Q: How do I prevent these messages from popping up?

Apparently the program thinks that it needs those fonts.

Using gconf-editor, unset /apps/gnome-packagekit/enable_font_helper

I hadn't even known that existed! Thanks for the suggestion. Let's see if it works: http://i43.tinypic.com/2rxe6ix.png
