xset -q seems pretty normal to me (considering that you don't show font
paths for any user sessions).

could not open default font "fixed" sounds like a problem that occurs
because Fedora moved the X11 font paths a few distributions ago and I
think I fixed that with a symbolic link. I can't tell you where because
my desktop at work is currently turned off and I can't check it but I
think it was something like making a symbolic link...

ln -s /usr/share/X11/fonts /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
