Do you have xfstt referenced in /etc/X11/XF86Config? I was getting
similar errors under vncserver when trying to use unix-domain sockets
with xfstt. If you have an entry that looks like
FontPath "unix/:7101"
try replacing it with
FontPath "tcp/localhost:7101"
The "normal" font-server (xfs) doesn't seem to exhibit this problem, nor
does xfstt when used under "plain-vanilla" XFree86... it seems to be
peculiar to xfstt with vncserver.
