Well, thats an easy one. Your font path is missing. You have to either start 
your font server (try: /etc/init.d/xfs start) or provide a file path to your 
fonts, so that xfree can find them. 

Mine reside in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/ but thats distribution specific. See your 
XFree config file (mostly /etc/X11/XF86Config) and look for Section "Files". 
Your should see something like:

        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
        FontPath        "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"

Check if the path is right, and the files exist, if not install them.

Hope this helps
