Look at in these directories! Most of them are empty, that's why xserver says it can't init its elements.
Maybe Type1 dir contains fonts. Than you should go to this dir, and run these as root:
| Code: | mkfontdir
mkfontscale
fc-cache |
This should regenerate the font info files.
Sometimes, if the problem persist AND there are fonts in the dir, it means that some of them has problems, and X can't use them. If you run mkfontdir and ~scale, it will probably write the fonts which has problems - you have to delete them and mkfont*** again, while it wil run without errors.
