I also got the same font error after I did a build from the CVS archive. If you look at the world.log file you'll see the following messages.
....
make[4]: *** No rule to make target `../../exports/bin/mkfontdir.exe', needed by
`all'.
....
....
make[4]: *** No rule to make target `../../exports/bin/bdftopcf.exe', needed by
`all'.
These programs compiled OK but were not copied to the /xc/exports/bin directory for some reason.
To get around this I did the following:
1. Copy mkdfontdir.exe and bdftopcf.exe to /xc/exports/bin
2. cd to /xc/fonts
3. make clean
4. cd to /xc
5. make
6. make install

Suhaib,

Thanks for your reply. I did an archive search and found
some references to the fixed font problem. As a result,
I was able to use my xfree86 build again by taking
xfree86-4.0-fonts.tar.bz2 and installing it in the
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts directory.
What I don't understand is why I don't have all the
correct fonts from the cvs archive of xfree86? Does
that mean that my build did not complete correctly or
that the cvs archive doesn't have all the fonts needed?
When I compare the fonts from my build with the ones from
xfree86-4.0-fonts.tar.bz2, I see the following:

I see that most of the directories on my build are not as
big and I'm completely missing the ttfonts directory.
Just wondering what could have happened and how Suhaib was
able to get the correct fonts (although at first also had a
problem).
