    Very wierd, because your mozilla-mail client is convinced you're in
    -0500 rather than +0900.

    Ah yes, you're talking about an FC2 system, not an FC3 system. The
    equivalent package there should be: xorg-x11-base-fonts

    Try editing /etc/X11/fs/config and remove the blank entry in the font
    catalogue between /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 and
    /usr/share/fonts/ja/misc:unscaled.

    Try removing the fonts.dir file in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc and
    then do "service xfs restart", which should regenerate a fresh copy of it.

    Paul.
