I've seen this problem when xfs is not running. Make sure it is up before
running X. Also check for this line
FontPath "unix/:-1"
in the /etc/X11/XF86Config that tells X to look for fonts using xfs.
If you don't have xfs installed, install it and run
/etc/init.d/xfs start
When I try to start KDE with startx I get
Fatal server error:
could not open default font "fixed"
This seem to happen out of the blue.
Please help.
I think it may be xfs or XFree86-xfs-3.3.6-14mdk.i586.rpm
I have forced it to reinstall but no help.

I'm way, way behind reading this, but a few quick notes:
1. When this happens it usually means that /tmp got trashed.
2. Yes, it's a bug in Mandrake that permanent files are in /tmp.
That's wrong, wrong, wrong.
Anybody know if it's fixed in 7.1?
3. Usually just re-installing the base XFree

I'll bet I know what happened: you filled your root partition! That's what
has caused me
Or possibly did you recently add any font's such as true type fonts
during
your last x session?

Did you delete any folders or files out of /tmp? There are some needed files that
must be left alone, and Mandrake install these files to /tmp.

Suddently my XWindowns stopped to work. When I do startx I recive the
follow message:
-FontTransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
failed to set default font path 'unix/:-1'
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
