Well, fonts generally reside in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts.  You can see
what your font path is by doing xset q.  If you have any non-standard
font directories configured, remove them, and see if the problem goes
away.  If you've added non-standard fonts to any of the standard
directories, you'll probably have to remove all font dirs, and reinstall
all the XFree86 font ports/packages.
