I had good luck following the font de-uglification how-to from the linux
documentation project.  I edited my xf86config file following the
guidelines there and it solved a bunch of my font problems (netscape,
lyx, and (x)emacs).  See if it might help you out.  The url is
http://linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/mini/FDU.html.  There is also a font how-to
there.  Don't have the slightest idea if it's relevant or not.  The
mini-howto is all about X configuration which should be pretty portable
to FBSD.
