I did not find the E-mail I was looking for, but I did finally find the 
Fedora C2 sfds.

1.)
In the config.py file (/usr/lib/skencil-<version>/Sketch/Base directory) 
try:

font_path = ['/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1',
             '/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1']

Again use the chkfontpath -l to see the fontpaths (you want the one that 
has "default" and "Type1" in the path).
Sorry I can't give exact details, but I don't have Fedora box to 
investigate.

2.)
Use the below file data (cut and paste) and replace the current std.sfd 
in the Fontmetrics directory 
(/usr/lib/skencil-<version>/Resources/Fontmetrics):

# --- Start ---- #
# std.sfd for Fedora. These are the GS fonts.

Hope this helps. Ther is no garentee that C5 uses the same names as C2. 
You can still use the mksfd.py script to generate the above files.
