Update: This penguin xfs server CRASH

[Mark Street]

The dreaded xfs problem..
in
/etc/X11/fs/config
or
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fs/config

A catalogue on one of my servers looks sorta like this...the order is very 
important..

catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
         /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
         /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,
         /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi,
         /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc,
         /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,
         /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,
         /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1,
         /usr/local/share/ttfonts,
         /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,
         /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts

Make sure your font server starts before your X-server.
