Yeah, that's odd all right.
Try looking at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.dir . That was one place where I found "fixed" font entries. It may be that you have some corrupt or missing fonts.dir files.

I used 'fink list -i' to verify that the xfree86-* packages had been installed. All the same, I reinstalled (fink reinstall ...) all of them, with no change in what happens when I try to run....
I've also verified that gcc3.3 is installed and is being used, both via gcc --version and by watching what happens when other packages were updated.
I'm really puzzled by the font path complaints that I see. Is there a config file somewhere that I should check.
I found a way around this whole problem.... This msg is really for the archives in the event that someone else runs into the same problem....
I tried 'fink reinstall xfree86-whatever' and ran into the same complaint about missing 'fixed' font. I also tried 'fink rebuild ...' to no avail. And I couldn't spot anything obviously amiss in .../fonts.dir. Soooo when all else fails, get out the biggest hammer available and get to work....
I completely removed fink's installation of X11 by running
sudo dpkg -r --force-depends xfree86-rootless\ xfree86-rootless-shlibs xfree86-base xfree86-base-shlibs
and I manually removed all traces of xfree86-* from various directories under /sw (i.e., trashed the distribution files and the .deb files). Then I did a 'fink install ...' of the four packages.
That left me in a spot where launching XDarwin (via startx or via icon) generated (all too familiar) complaints about .Xauthority. Regenerating .Xauthority fixed that, and now I have X11 again.
Cheers, Mark
