fontmap

[David Shochat <shochat acm org>]

In preparation for debugging my problem with gnumeric hanging (see my 
message of 1/14), I built it from the source tarball. Now when I try to 
run it, I get an error alert saying it can't find a suitable default 
font, and can't find my fontmap file in the expected location and 
implies that the expected location is /usr/share/fonts. It also suggests 
that I check my gnome-print installation.

I have confirmed that I have no /usr/share/fonts/fontmap. When I do rpm 
-ql gnome-print, no such file is listed. But I thought I would try to 
reinstall gnome-print anyway. When I do so, this happens:

# rpm -Uvh --force gnome-print-0.25-0_helix_1.i386.rpm
gnome-print                 
##################################################
/usr/share/fonts/fontmap

... and it just hangs there forever. I don't know how to interpret this. 
What is the gnome-print install trying (unsuccessfully) to do? Is it 
trying to create fontmap? Is it too looking for it (like gnumeric)? If 
so, how do I get one?

I can file the suggested bug report, but first I thought I'd ask about 
it here. I assume it's a gnome-print problem and not a gnumeric problem.
