Hi Ingo, (and welcome!)
Let's double check the installed X packages:
$ rpm -qa | grep XFree
You can verify that no dependencies are left unsatisfied:
rpm -qa | grep XFree | xargs rpm -V
Can you verify that the font server is running?
$ /sbin/service xfs status
If it isn't running, as root:
# service xfs start
Make sure it starts automatically:
$ /sbin/chkconfig xfs --list
xfs 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
If that output differs from yours, as root:
# chkconfig xfs on
Then, let's see the defined font paths:
$ /usr/sbin/chkfontpath
For the stock Red Hat version of X, the font path in XF86Config should
read:
FontPath "unix/:7100"
Without that, the Xserver won't use the xfs font server.
If none of that helps, please let me know.
Good luck,
