Just the pdf I was trying to view wouldn't display and said it was because 
those fonts weren't available.

Yeah well windows is on the same machine and if they want to say I need to 
be using the rest of the OS to take advantage of those fonts I paid for

xpdf works beautifully thank you for the tip on the patches.  It took less 
than 5 seconds to do it via an rpm patch.

I got ggv to work also but it looks horrible and you need to zoom in super
