but some problem come out.
from xorg-x11-fonts-7.0{....}.src.rpm, i got some packages.

[root@cola misc]# pwd
/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc
[root@cola misc]# mkfontdir
[root@cola misc]# cat fonts.dir

You are installing a src rpm which only installs source code. You have to go into the directory where the source code is installed and build the fonts, usually like this:
./configure
make
su -c "make install"
