interesting. we don't use a font server, but most likely it's just sending an xset fp rehash command. i'd like to repro this, but i would need a *lot* more info from you, including what you did, step by step, in excruciating detail. i might even need a font or two you used.
if kde doesn't start, the worst you should *ever* have to do is rm -rf ~/.kde2 from a command line. even that's drastic, more likely you could just browse ~/.kde2/share/config/* and see which files changed recently, then delete that file/remove those changes. of course the whole point of RL is that the user [you 8-] shouldn't have to do this stuff [command line editing] ever, but i just want to let you know in case you find something else like this and don't wanna reinstall.
