That indicates that there is a problem with the fonts wihch are
located in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/
As of redhat 6.0 things have been changed, so here are 2 different
ways of defining default fonts, of course the fonts must be installed
in the given directorys.
Old way.
edit /etc/X11/XF86Config at Section "Files"
Place the following;
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi
Or the new Redhat-as of 6.0 way.
edit same file at the same place and put;
FontPath "unix/:-1"
Now edit /etc/X11/fs/config
Place the following at or around line 19/20
catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi
If of course they are not already there.
Make sure you have the fonts installed.
Other may have beter advise for you also.
