I'm not accustomed to Fedora, but on Ubuntu 6.10, I had to link the
fonts into the right place (where nxagent looks) like this:
ln -s /usr/share/fonts/X11/* /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/

maybe you can adjust this to Fedora 8, so that nxagent can find the
'fixed' font?

Don't think the problem lays in that the font 'fixed' is actually
missing, it's more that nxagent looks in the "wrong"/"old" places...

you could, if all else fails, try to debug with strace, or it's like, to
see where nxagent _actually_ looks for the 'fixed' font.
