Alright. Everything seems in order here. From what I gather there is a
problematic font somewhere in one of those font dirs that when loading
up it causes that error. What does /var/log/Xorg.log.0 have to say
about that? Or your ./.xsessionerror?

egrep -i 'WW|EE' /var/log/Xorg.log.0

If you isolate that font and comment it out from font.dir for example
your problem might go away.
