That error usually means that the Xserver is looking at the wrong config file
for the FontPath, and I've only seen it after upgrading to ver4 from ver3.x.x.
If you are using XF86Config-4 (the config file for the Xfree ver 4.x server)
copy your FontPath stuff from the XF86Config (the file the Xfree 3.x.x server
uses). Probably the reverse if you use Xfree86 ver 3.x.x.
In the XF86Config-4 file you need your section "Files" from the XF86Config
such as:
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
