You're one of many people who has had this occur, including
myself (it was weeks ago though).

I did two things, either of which may fix the problem by
itself. I removed and purged my 'xfs' package and
removed/purged my 'xfonts-100dpi' package. I'm using 75dpi
fonts only. In your case, do the opposite. Also, go through
all the x-windows config files you can find and remove
references to the font package you choose to remove.
