Hi, thanks for the bug numbers.

So... RedHat's X is not badly configured.
The X font server is there for some reason: x not worrying much about
fonts.

But this problem goes away IF, besides using xfs, we give X the abillity
to handle fonts itself.

Basically this bug happens because we're assuming X handles it's fonts.

The default in RedHat (since 6.2, I believe) is to let xfs handle fonts.

Add to XF86Config-4 (in Section "Module"):
        Load "bitmap"
        Load "freetype"
        Load "speedo"
        Load "type1"

It now works.

Hugs, rms
