RedHat's handling of fonts is notoriously frail. It sets X to use a
font server. This assumes the system administrator is an experienced
person who does not make mistakes like stopping a "useless" font
server.
It would have been better to use a conventional directory based Font
Path and then somewhere in the X startup scripts have the following:
xset fp= "unix/:-1" 2>/dev/null && xset fp rehash
This ensures that X will use the font server if it is running but will
still work if it doesn't
