I've had this problem too. All you have to do to fix this is boot to
failsafe mode and enter into your XF86Config-4 file the absolute paths
to your fonts. You can run emacs from the command line by typing
emacs XF86Config-4
When you have made the changes that need to be made, hold down the CTRL
button and hit x and then s to save your changes. Then Hold down CTRL
and hit x and then c to close emacs.
type startx to test it and you should be good.
Good Luck!

The frammisgoshes should be distimmed because a frammisgosh is like a
farble
and distimming is like gosketing and our ancestors always gosketed the
farbles.
