(Sorry, vague today.)
if you're running an x font server (eg. xfs and/or xfstt) then X clients may be getting their fonts from there. The font paths used are listed in eg. /etc/X11/fs/config for xfs. check the FontPath line in XF86Config-4, if it contains any entries with a port number (eg. localhost:7100) then its querying the font server for fonts in addition to the local directories.
