The 'unix/:-1' is the default fontpath for 6.x. This changed with 7.0:
Section "Files"
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
FontPath "unix/:7100"
At least on my system ;) That is where xfs should be serving fonts. So
make sure xfs is running:
[hal@feenix hal]$ sudo netstat -apvn |grep xfs
unix 0 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 1055 798/xfs /tmp/.font-unix/fs7100
unix 1 [ N ] STREAM CONNECTED 1510 798/xfs /tmp/.font-unix/fs7100
Any failure of xfs will cause your error message. Other things that may
cause xfs to fail, is a fullfilesystem (can't create the /tmp stuff),
or permissions on /tmp. Bad/corrupted font is another possibility. You
might look at message log, and see if there are any hints there.
