I ran into this myself and tried about 1400 different things to fix it.
I did... Problem is I'm not sure which did it ;-)

I'd suggest two fairly simple things:

-- Get rid of 'xfs' (if you don't need it -- you *don't* need it for
local TrueType font support, for example)

-- Choose either 75dpi or 100dpi xfonts and whichever you don't use,
remove/purge the other. Then go through the various config files and
manually remove the references to them.
