Code:

Code:
lsb_release -a
-bash: lsb_release: command not found

on both the systems.

Installed it on both systems using command sudo yum install lsb* and here we go. But now with this i messed up good server as wellSmilie

Now both the servers are showing same undesired font:

Code:
fc-match
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"

For good host1
Code:
lsb_release -a
LSB Version:    :core-4.1-amd64:core-4.1-noarch:cxx-4.1-amd64:cxx-4.1-noarch:desktop-4.1-amd64:desktop-4.1-noarch:languages-4.1-amd64:languages-4.1-noarch:printing-4.1-amd64:printing-4.1-noarch:trialuse-4.1-amd64:trialuse-4.1-noarch
Distributor ID: CentOS
Description:    CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core)
Release:        7.4.1708
Codename:       Core


For problematic host 2 where the default font is not the desired one.
Code:
# lsb_release -a
LSB Version:    :core-4.1-amd64:core-4.1-noarch:cxx-4.1-amd64:cxx-4.1-noarch:desktop-4.1-amd64:desktop-4.1-noarch:languages-4.1-amd64:languages-4.1-noarch:printing-4.1-amd64:printing-4.1-noarch:trialuse-4.1-amd64:trialuse-4.1-noarch

XmFontListEntryCreate(library call)									       XmFontListEntryCreate(library call)

NAME
XmFontListEntryCreate -- A font list function that creates a font list entry SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h> XmFontListEntry XmFontListEntryCreate( char *tag, XmFontType type, XtPointer font); DESCRIPTION
XmFontListEntryCreate creates a font list entry that contains either a font or font set and is identified by a tag. tag Specifies a NULL terminated string for the tag of the font list entry. The tag may be specified as XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG, which is used to identify the default font list element in a font list. type Specifies whether the font argument is a font structure or a font set. Valid values are XmFONT_IS_FONT and XmFONT_IS_FONTSET. font Specifies either an XFontSet returned by XCreateFontSet or a pointer to an XFontStruct returned by XLoadQueryFont. The toolkit does not copy the X Font structure specified by the font argument. Therefore, an application programmer must not free XFontStruct or XFontSet until all font lists and/or font entries that reference it have been freed. RETURN
Returns a font list entry. The function allocates space to hold the returned font list entry. The application is responsible for managing the allocated space. The application can recover the allocated space by calling XmFontListEntryFree. RELATED
XmFontList(3), XmFontListAppendEntry(3), XmFontListEntryFree(3), XmFontListEntryGetFont(3), XmFontListEntryGetTag(3), XmFontListEntry- Load(3), and XmFontListRemoveEntry(3). XmFontListEntryCreate(library call)
