Thanks for the suggestions Andinus and James Cloos In the end I was able to solve the issue by doing:
lsof -p <PID of working terminal> and examining the open font files. There were not that many of them (only 9). Then this, on one of the open font files (my 3rd file attempt): dnf whatprovides /usr/share/fonts/gnu-free/FreeSerif.ttf gnu-free-serif-fonts-20120503-24.fc34.noarch Then on the troublesome system (Centos 8), I did: dnf install gnu-free-serif-fonts # which also pulls in gnu-free-fonts-common and bingo, all the missing raku fonts started displaying correctly.
