Lost Fonts?

I don't know what happened, but I've apparently lost my font server, or
at least my default fonts, so I am unable to start X. I get the
following error message:

_FontTransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
failed to set default fontpath 'unix/:-1'
Fatal server error:
Could not open default font 'fixed'


Upon start up, the font server starts, but when I do a shutdown after
trying to start X, it says that it failed to shutdown, and INND also
fails to shut down. I checked my XF86Config file, and it has:

Font Path "unix/:-1"

After reading several FAQ's and a bunch of posts in ng, I have checked a
few things. I have fonts/misc:unscaled and fonts/misc in the catalogue
line of the proper file. Someone suggested doing a df command. I don't
know why, but here it is:

		1-K blocks	Used	avail	used	mount
/dev/hdc2	63917		60920	0	100%	/
/dev/hdc4	6754013		23764	6380322	0%	/home
/dev/hdc3	1090007		891133	142552	86%	/usr

I am running Redhat 6.0 on a POS Packard Bell

I may have forgotten a few things, so if you need more info let me know.
(It's 2:30 in the morning, and I can't think straight anymore) Any help
on fixing this would be appreciated. Lynx is okay for browsing, but I
would really like to get X running.
