Even the version 3 X servers needed to be able to find the "fixed" font
to start.

I remain puzzled how you operated a local X server without:

1) using a remote font server to get the "fixed" font; or
2) having xfonts-base installed; or
3) having some X fonts on your system that weren't under the control of
the packaging system
