That's becasue, I believe, a standard restart of xfs closes all its open
sockets (which are feeding fonts to th X server) and reopens new ones.
What you should do is just send xfs a SIGUSR1 as root (sudo pkill -USR1
xfs). This will just make xfs re-read its config file. Check out the
man page.

I have added a few truetype fonts to my ~/.fonts directory. They show up fine
in KWord, but do not show up in OpenOffice.org or in The Gimp. I have
restarted the X server and have even had a reboot since then. Some time ago I
used an RPM to add the standard TrueType fonts to
/usr/X11R6/lib/X1
