- From what I remember the fix wasn't ever found, but various 'methods'
fixed it for some people:

 1) Dispelling xfree86 and then doing a `cast -r -c xfree86`
 2) Switching to xorg
 3) Doing a `sorcery rebuild`
 4) Recasting xfree86 with various font options enabled/disabled
 5) Praying to your god(s)

I hope this helps,
