X broken after fonts/fontserver update

Anyone else is experiencing this problem? Here are the messages that X gives me at startup _FontTransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 failed to set default font path

Re: X broken after fonts/fontserver update

When I was playing with xfs, I never could get local unix sockets to work vis-a-vis /unix:7100. However, it worked using tcp as tcp/localhost:7100. xfs slows down the system though, so I went back to direct path specification (don't use true type fonts). --
