Following Fedora 
(https://src.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/urw-base35-fonts.git/commit/?id=f18d6d5b26d2eae4d7730b0b1137b4b54909d9fa), 
I've created and uploaded a new subpackage urw-base35-fonts-legacy that 
contains old versions of the fonts.  These should work with xfig.

The fonts are in /usr/share/X11/fonts/urw-fonts, with a symlink in 
/etc/X11/fontpath.d/.

I did some limited testing, and xfig seems to find the fonts.  (I didn't 
call xset or do anything else special.)

Achim, if I'm right, you don't have to do anything with xfig except to 
add a dependency on urw-base35-fonts-legacy.

But someone more familiar with xfig than I am should test this.
