You copied too many TT fonts.  If you only use the ones from Microsoft
that are all lower case, this isn't usually a problem.  On the other
hand, if you copy the ALL UPPER CASE fonts as well (I'm not sure which
one it is), the X server won't be able to distinguish between the fixed
font that came with X and the fixed font that Microsoft uses (something
within the font resources conflicts).
