I think the probleme come from here as xfs share its font to other X app (xdm
...)
Can you give us the "Section Files" from XF86Config ??

Try to restart your xfs server (/etc/init.d/xfs stop and /etc/init.d/xfs start)

Finally try to recreate your XF86config (/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -configure.

If that doesn't work, install a Virutal X Server (ie. Xvnc or Xvfb)
and use xlsfonts and xset (xset -q) commands to have more information
