This is happening again, and after I'd upgraded to RedHat 6.2.  I
tried your solution and it didn't work 

The font server is running, but there's some problem connecting to the
proper font path after an X crash.  I removed all the temp files to
see if that would help anything, and rebooted.

Something got hosed when X crashed, but I'm not sure what.
