On Redhat boxes, xfs is vital (and an EXCELLENT thing to do too,
btw). It runs listening to a local unix socket by default ("xfs
-port -1"). You need to tell the X server that it should get its
fonts from a fontserver (xfs) listening on a local socket. Instead
of using hard-coded font paths, put this into /etc/X11/XF86Config...
FontPath "unix/:-1"
