Your log file shows that you still are NOT picking up fonts.
You might try these:
1) Issue a "pstree" command. See if "xfs" is running. It
should be listed near the bottom of "pstree" listing. If
"pstree" doesn't list "xfs" then the fontserver is NOT
running for some reason.
2) Look at the "/etc/X11/fs/config" file. You should have
a section that looks similar to this:
catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/mdk:unscaled,
/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1,
/usr/share/fonts/ttf/decoratives,
/usr/share/fonts/ttf/western
These are the "paths" to your installed fonts. If these paths
are NOT there then you don't have all of the XFree86 packages
installed.
3) Issue a "fslsfonts -server unix/:-1"
This "should" list all of the fonts in the above "catalog" paths.
4) Try a "xset fp+ unix/:-1"
This should "inform" your system of the running font server and
all the fonts listed above in #3..
5) Make sure you have all the XFree86 packages installed by
running: rpm -qa | grep -i xfree The "fonts" are in the
75dpi & 100dpi packages.
I have these packages installed:
XFree86-xfs-4.0.3-7mdk
XFree86-devel-4.0.3-7mdk
XFree86-server-4.0.3-7mdk
XFree86-libs-4.0.3-7mdk
XFree86-4.0.3-7mdk
XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.0.3-7mdk
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.0.3-7mdk
6) Now try starting X
If all of this doesn't work you might try changing the file "/etc/X11/XF86Config"
(I've never done this for XFree86 4.0, but it should work)
a) comment out the line: FontPath "unix/:-1" by placing a "#" in front
of the line.
b) Add the lines from the "catalog" line (above in #2) so that they look like:
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/mdk:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/decoratives"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/western"
Now restart X.
If it still fails, I'm at a loss.
