X broken after fonts/fontserver update



Anyone else is experiencing this problem? Here are the messages that X
gives me at startup

_FontTransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2
failed to set default font path
'/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled,/usr/lib/ghostscript/fonts/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc-il2/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi-il2/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi-il2/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/sharefont/,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Xg/,/usr/lib/ghostscript/fonts/,/usr/share/fonts/texmf/,/usr/local/staroffice51/fonts/75dpi,/usr/local/staroffice51/fonts/type1,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/chinese/:unscaled,unix/:7101'
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'

When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages

XIO:  fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
      after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

I've tried to activate the xfs-xtt fontserver on unix/:7100, I can see
that the unix pipe has been created in /tmp but I can't get the X
server to connect to it.

Also a few days ago (X running without any problems) some applications
loaded some strange fonts from the freefonts collection instead of the
fixed one. Now X refuses to start.

Ah, yes, I know that in the above error messages there is 7101 and not
7100, that is xfstt. xfs is now disabled in XF86Config
