I now have fonts! I added the font directories found by
/usr/sbin/chkfontpath to the Files Section of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and following a restart things began to work.
The system startup script for xfs makes reference to a
/tmp/.font-unix directory. An error message appears on the boot
details screen to the effect that lstat reports /tmp/.font-unix does
not exist but I can find no reference to this error in any of the
logs. After startup I can find that directory but it is empty.
I have no idea how this is supposed to work but I suspect that the
dynamic discovery and addition of the font directories is failing
for some reason.
