I am running RedHat 8.0 3.2-7, with a SIS 620 AGP video card.
I was in the process of loading a large .pcx file in Image Magick when we had a power cut. On rebooting, I was unable to start X. I am now also unable to print from the terminal command line.
Can you help me recover? I'm afraid I am not yet a GNU/Linux guru and still finding my way about after a 2- year long leave of absence :-) I have included below, inline copies of:

Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!
Fatal server error: could not open default font 'fixed'
This is a common symptom on older Red Hat systems. You need to figure out why your font server (xfs) isn't starting properly.
