MythTV's themes specify a font named "Arial". Given that this font's 
licensing may not pass the muster of Fedora's guidelines, no font by that 
names is installed in Fedora. Previously, you must've gotten this font from 
someplace else.

But the solution is very simple. First, install the "liberation-fonts" RPM, 
then:

find themes -name '*.xml' -print | xargs -n 1 sed -i -e 's/Arial/luxi sans/'
