What were you trying to do?
Log in.
What's wrong:
The font path was set improperly. Only /etc/athena/login/fonts
was included, as reported by xset q.
What's really bizarre is that when I logged out and logged in
again without customization, it was okay, and then I logged out and
logged in again *with* customization, and it was okay. I am not sure
what's causing this to happen, but this has happened twice so far.
Either the X server is being started with an incorrect font path
sometimes, or something is trashing the font path afterward.
If this continues to happen, I'll look at it more carefully to
see what might be causing the problem.
What should have happened:
The fonts should be available every time I log in, not every
other time.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
