First of all, any Xserver on my homeage is probably very old (like
1.3-ALPHA), so keep that in mind.

This should be one of two things: A) You did not install the xfont.tgz;
or B) when you installed the fonts, you did not get the permissions right.
The safest way to install the X tarballs is to use the -p option in tar to
preserve the original permissions.

  tar zxvpf xfont.tgz
