When launching avastgui in a terminal I get a large number of the following message:
** (avastgui:19810): WARNING **: Couldn't load font "Tahoma 8" falling back to "Sans 8"
The result is that the GUI is displayed in such a small size that it is almost unreadable.
This is a Fedora Core 5 installation which is set to en_CA with hu_HU also configured.
Now I know that this is the fault of my font configuration. I also have similar font issues with emacs --- there it is so bad that it is unusable (blocks displayed instead of text).
I have search the net high and low for a solution, but have not found anything that works.
So I am just hoping that someone here can help.

Not that simple. In fact:
find /usr/share/fonts -name tahoma\*
/usr/share/fonts/webcore/tahomabd.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/webcore/tahoma.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/tahomabd.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/tahoma.ttf
Emacs can't find courier and helvetica, which are of course also there. So it's something else. One thing that I found strange, was that under /usr/shar/fonts there is no ISO8859-1 directory, altough there is a ISO8859-2 (which is the encoding used for Hungarian.
