I've seen this problem when xfs is not running. Make sure it is up before
running X. Also check for this line
FontPath "unix/:-1"
in the /etc/X11/XF86Config that tells X to look for fonts using xfs.
If you don't have xfs installed, install it and run
/etc/init.d/xfs start
and make sure you have a
xfs -port -1 -daemon
running before starting X.
