I experienced exactly the same, when I first updated the fonts, but not the Xserver. I had to play around with the Catalogue line until only the valid paths were listed. Then I updated to XFree86 3.3 and could restore the previous Catalogue line. So, I think xfs should be configured fine. Is there any way to make xfs list the fonts it can serve? In order to check the configuration? If that's not it, I am still clueless. Should I - maybe - completely purge X and reinstall it? I'd hate to do it, but if there is no other way...
