Can you run fc-list (make sure your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and stuff are set), and
check ~/.font.cache-1? If it's big, with lots of fonts listed, you're set to
go. If it's not... Edit the fontconfig garball's Makefile and comment out
the PATCHFILES line. make clean and make install again.

Turns out the Red Hat patch broke stuff for me, and has probably done the
same for you. Scarily enough, it was shipped with RH8. :-(
