Good, glad it worked.

This was added by the script when it ran:
/usr/sbin/chkfontpath -f -a /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype

I believe you want to comment that line out. That forces the Xserver to
ignore the fontserver, unless I am mistaken. You should have something
like:
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.
FontPath "unix/:7100"

I've just put up new rpms. :)
I added some documentation, clarified the warning message regarding
/etc/X11/XftConfig when it is missing, and added a brutaly ugly hack to
edit the above file in place (patches welcome) ;)

I always appreciate hearing how things work. I normally assume that if I
hear nothing, either no one tried it, or their system wasn't a complete
disaster when they finished the install. :)
I do however test my little hacks on my own systems first. ;)
