first of all, check /usr/X11R6/lib/fonts and see that the fonts are
there and what paths, etc.
Then check XF86Config. YOu should have a section like this:
Section "Files"
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
EndSection
Other than that... first of all, if you mucked w/ XF86Config to mess up
your fonts, you should have a backup called XF86Config~ in /etc if you
used emacs (i don't know about other editors.) And when you do get it
working, back up XF86Config. It might help if you could elaborate on
just what you mean by "playing around with the fonts."
