Try 'nm /usr/lib/libgdk.a | grep font' and I think you will see the light...

Builds and runs (i.e. doesn't crash at startup and runs
demo(graphics)) for me with

gnome-libs-1.0.11-1
gnome-libs-devel-1.0.11-1
gtk+-1.2.3-1
gtk+-1.2.3-1
gtk+10-1.0.6-5
glib-1.2.3-1
glib-devel-1.2.3-1
libglade-0.4-SNAP
libglade-devel-0.4-SNAP
libxml-1.4.0-1
libxml-devel-1.4.0-1
libxml10-1.0.0-1

I'd say libglade is the culprit...
