Actually this is not wonky, it is 'sticky' and proper.

See RH bug 5093, which describes the fix procedure on a dying xfs
[which is what is being described -- see a tail of
/var/log/messages after trying to stop and then start xfs].
Quick answer -- something has bunged up the fonts.dir (a
post-install script has failed, etc.) -- fix it thus:
as root:
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc
mkfontdir
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart
