Yes.

The font server is likely (you'll have to check it's configs) logging
to syslog, you need to find out why it's dying.

That's not the font server, that is the *X server* trying to restart
and being unable to, *because* the font server has already died.

If you're not *killing* the X server, you might want to investigate why
*it* is dying, too.
