I don't see .xinitrc. But, I don't know what to do with all this.
Where
to go next, so to speak.
You have somewhere a template for ~/.xinitrc on your system, maybe
in /etc/X11/xinit ...
When the X server is launched it looks for ~/.xinitrc. If the file
exists it executes it. By this means you can correct and extend the
font path, set other time constants or repeat rates or acceleration
for keyboard or mouse, launch useful X clients and particularly
choose a Window Manager.
The UNIX help system, i.e. the man and apropos (or man -k) commands,
can explain more. More resources can be found on the Internet.
If you don't want to learn so much, you can check the look of a font
in X11 with xfd (or xfontsel) and then invoke GNU Emacs with 'emacs -
fn <your choice of font> &'. Or you simply filter the output of
xlsfonts. This way you can find whether the fonts reported exist on
your system. If they don't, you can select another one to pass on the
command line.
