I'm not sure we should recommend this.

Fedora carries the following patch (among others):

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/xfig.git/tree/xfig-3.2.5-urwfonts.patch

We currently provide the URW fonts in ghostscript-fonts-std.  That
should be rebuilt to add a symlink in /etc/X11/fontpath.d, and xfig
rebuilt with that patch (and possibly others from that set as well).
