Thank you so much Jon. I had tried a few .xinitrc files and I’m not sure why they didn’t work, but based on your clarification, I copied /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc to ~/.xinitrc and that worked. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to debug my font issue in graphviz?

However, the last long-lived program started (usually a window manager or terminal emulator) should be left in the foreground so that the script won't exit (which indicates that the user is done and that xinit should exit)." It seems you are getting exactly what you are asking for with an empty ~/.xinitrc. [1] also mentions this.
