I can't start under a stable Gentoo xboard if I didn't have at least this 
xorg.conf :

tfoer...@n22 /usr/share/fonts $ cat /var/tmp/xorg.conf
Section "Files"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/corefonts"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/intlfonts"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/freefonts"
EndSection

I get :

tfoer...@n22 ~ $ xboard
X Error of failed request:  BadName (named color or font does not exist)
  Major opcode of failed request:  45 (X_OpenFont)
  Serial number of failed request:  20
  Current serial number in output stream:  21


I already tried to set the font path at the command line with "xset +fp":

tfoer...@n22 ~ $ xset q | grep -i font
Font Path:
  /usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-
vera/,/usr/share/fonts/terminus/,/usr/share/fonts/util/,/usr/share/fonts/freefonts/,/usr/share/fonts/encodings/,/usr/share/fonts/corefonts,/usr/share/fonts/intlfonts,/usr/share/fonts/freefonts,/usr/share/fonts/ttf-

vera,/usr/share/fonts/misc/,/usr/share/fonts/Type1/,/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/share/fonts/75dpi/,built-

Font cache:
  Server does not have the FontCache Extension
