I've recently started noticing problems with fonts.

upon starting X somefonts will not be availible.  applications will
complain about a certain font not being available, I will change the
font configured for it, and latter (possibly) it will complain about
that font not being availible.

gfontsel will list fonts but upon selecting them it will inform me that
they are not availible, should i rerun some command? I am quite
unfamiliar with font's in X outside of making sure they are in the
directory

pertenent parts of my XF86Config file are

Look in /var/log/XFree86.0.log for error messages about fonts not being loaded. You may need to load other modules like bitmap, speedo, etc. to get all fonts to load.
