In Fedora's X environment I have to set the font paths in /etc/X11/xorg.conf like this (... means other font paths): Section "Files" ... FontPath "/usr/local/mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/Type1" FontPath "/usr/local/mathematica/SystemFiles/Fonts/X:unscaled" ... FontPath "unix/:7100" EndSection You should see this show up upon 'xset -q' after restarting X. Use a link at /usr/local/mathematica to point to the Mathematica directory or replace its real name in the FontPath. Amaro
