fixed is the default fallback font required by X servers.  The X server 
*must* be able to find it under all circumstances.  Redhat keeps fixed 
(the misc font directory) in xfs along with other fonts.  I don't quite 
agree with this.

first, do /usr/sbin/chkfontpath

look for a line like this:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc

copy that line to your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4  (if you're using XFree86 
3, then drop the -4).

You have to copy it to the Files section.  It should already contain a 
line like:

        FontPath "unix/:7100"

copy this below that line:

        FontPath /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc

for your other fonts, make sure xfs is running (do what Trevor told 
you).
