I don't want to get into the habit of using info-performer for
generic Linux system administration problems, but since this is
perfly --

You're right it sounds like some fonts are missing from your system.
The ISO font it's looking for (in the case above) is
"-*-utopia-bold-r-normal--[size]-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1"

..which is a Type-1 font. Making a few leaps of faith, looks like that
particular one comes in the file /usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/UTB_____.pfa
which is part of XFree86-3.3.3.1-49.

Not that this is particularly solid information,
'rpm -q -a | grep -i font' on this same system reveals:

chkfontpath-1.4.1-1
ghostscript-fonts-5.10-3
urw-fonts-1.1-8
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-3.3.3.1-49
XFree86-75dpi-fonts-3.3.3.1-49
XFree86-cyrillic-fonts-3.3.3.1-49
XFree86-ISO8859-2-100dpi-fonts-1.0-8
XFree86-ISO8859-2-75dpi-fonts-1.0-8
XFree86-ISO8859-2-Type1-fonts-1.0-8
XFree86-ISO8859-9-100dpi-fonts-2.1.2-9
XFree86-ISO8859-9-75dpi-fonts-2.1.2-9

So besides XFree86-3.3.3.1-49, I'd suggest checking that you have all
of the above subsystems loaded as well.
