[ATrpms-users] Missing font dependency for MythTV on Fedora 7

[Marshall Crocker]

So that's what happened!  I had the same problem but I was able to go 
through the setup anyway.  I knew that there were 5 or 6 top level menus 
and the submenus showed up fine.  Once I started mythfrontend, I 
switched the theme to mythcenter and everything in the setup showed up 
so I was able to go back in and double check my settings.

Speaking of themes, there are several missing that were available with 
my fc 4 mythtv setup.  I guess I'm either missing an additional package 
or the original creators of the missing themes haven't updated them to 
work with 20.2.  Anyone know for sure?
