Dont forget, Redhat does install a firewall during the install process, i have
even seen it get installed when "No Firewall" was clicked. (My fault,! who
knows.)
I wonder if the folloing might help.
Open a terminal, su, then type;
/sbin/ipchains -F
The -F flushes all chains and the following accepts all.
/sbin/ipchains -P forward ACCEPT
/sbin/ipchains -P input ACCEPT
/sbin/ipchains -P output ACCEPT
Does that help. otheriwse there could be a problem with xinetd.
Of course all of the above can be done with the runlevel manager.

All i can do here is guess, considering it runs as root, then i would say,
permissions problem.
I would check, (considering the error) permissions in the fonts dir.
Like i said, its a "guess".
I hope others will help you more on this one.
