Thanks for the tip. I found some other hints regarding X11 in 10.5, and had to clear out an "export DISPLAY" setting in my .bash_profile and blow away my org.x.X11 and org.x.X11_launcher plists. After that, I could just launch xterm from a Terminal and X11 would fire up almost instantly with the xterm window. So, at this point I don't think I'll mess with my font cache(s).
Now, if I could just get my Quartz gnucash installed, I'd be good to go.
