Try start X with and without xfs running, do 'xlsfonts | wc -l' and compare results. If there will be no difference you can unmerge xfs. Back to 8x13... I must admit now it's a mystery for me why X does not find 8x13 while it finds 6x13. Try following: 1. Do 'equery belongs /usr/share/fonts/misc' This gives you list of all packages that have some files in misc directory. 2. Stop X. 3. Unmerge all packages listed in 1. 4. Remove all remaining files in misc directory (or move them somewhere else). 5. Emerge packages unmerged in 3. (or you can try emerge just font-misc-misc.
