I think it uses

 -*-lucida-*-*-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
 -*-times-*-*-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
 -*-helvetica-*-*-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
 -*-courier-*-*-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Note that those are xfs fonts (not Fontconfig). I don't know what the
RHE5 equivalents would be.

Do modern Linux distributions even include xfs fonts? The RHE4 release
notes suggest that xfs fonts might go away in later releases, but I
didn't find anything in the RHE5 notes saying that it did.
