Neeraj,
My main suspicion is that since (I presume) xfs was
working before, your font directory may have been
corrupted.
Try "man xfs" to understand a bit more about xfs - X font server.
xfs look at configuration file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config
to find out where the fonts are.
On most linux system, X-Windows fonts would be in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
You need to verify that your font directories are
as it should be.
Alternatively, there is one possible workaround, but only if
you are within a LAN which have a unix server running X-Windows.
With X-Windows it is possible to get your fonts served from
the network.
Edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config and replace the line:
FontPath "unix/:7100"
with:
FontPath "tcp/<server_name(or IP addr)>:7000
Try to understand more about X Windows by reading the
manpage: "man X"
You should send your email to xfree86@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Good Luck
