gnome-print is responsible for collecting the available fonts on the
system so that we can maintain some consistency between display and
printing.  If you are only seeing symbol font then the gnome-print
font installer is not finding the others.  Ensure that you have
ghostscript-fonts installed on your system and rerun the gnome-print
installation.   That should hopefully find things.

Good Luck,
