That did not totally fix my problem. misc is readable now and X starts but the fonts are just awfull since 100dpi and 75 dpi were still unreadable. Finally found it: /etc/X11/fonts/[100dpi|75dpi] still contained *.alias files pertaining to the biznet family of fonts (uninstalled) removing those files and editing /usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/fonts.alias in order to remove the lines corresponding to those fonts (A comment divides the fonts comming from different packages) INCLUDING the last line "# This file can be removed" things came back to normal.
