Hi,
hoping that this is the right forum for posting what I believe to be bug 
reports.

When compiling a document that (obviously) needs the file "pifont.sty", 
I get the following error message (copy-pasted from emacs auctex):

"""
ERROR: I can't find file `pzdr'.

--- TeX said ---
<*> \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input pzdr

Please type another input file name
! Emergency stop.
<*> \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input pzdr

Transcript written on mfput.log.
grep: pzdr.log: No such file or directory

l.63 {\Pifont{pzd}
                   }
--- HELP ---
TeX can't find a file that it needs. If the name of the missing file
has the extension tex, then it is looking for an input file that you
specified---either your main file or another file inserted with an
\input or \include command. If the missing file has the extension sty
, then you have specified a nonexistent document style or style
option.
"""

This was solved by installing the following packages:
yum install texlive-zapfding texlive-texmf-fonts texlive-metapost
which with dependencies ended up installing:
