The problem is that even if I can figure out where Maps-Configure-Map
Lables Font is in the menu, I don't think I'll be able to read the
output.  The screen shot shows the result of <help>/<about Xastir>,
which is unreadable.  I don't think it is a matter of map labels,
however, because almost all text is affected.

Checking the package manager, xorg-x11-fonts, xorg-x11-fonts-core, and
xorg-x11-fonts-devel are all installed.  The first one wasn't
initially, and I had a font error in the terminal at that time, but
after installed it, the error message went away.  The display is
unchanged.
