Default font error

[John Duke]

I have RH8. Recently the graphical system stopped working -- on boot, I get an "I cannot start X server" message. When I look at the log file, I see:

Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!
Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'

In addition, some of the text messages I am getting back have gibberish characters where it is asking for a response. The command line interface seems ok.

It looks to me like a font was corrupted or deleted -- right? More to the point, how do I get it back short of re-installing everything?

Please be gentle -- I'm just learning this stuff!
