RedHat compile problems

I have compiled openbox from source on a redhat 8 box and I am having some problems with it. It loads ok but it does  take awhile to load but that is a minor problem. When I switch to another style it freezes for about 15 seconds and then finally loads the style. And some of the styles don't seem to work, the coloring is fine but there are no fonts (as in letters or words) and the menu, titlebar and bar at the bottom are two or three times as tall as they should be. Am I missing libraries or just fonts and if anyone has a link on how to add fonts in RedHat 8 I would appreciate it. And any idea why it takes so long for the styles to change. I have compiled both stable and testing with the same results. I have compiled on Debian and had none of these problems.  
Great work with openbox it has become my defacto windowmanager.

Thanks.

Pat.
