First, note that you are apparently using both the separate font server
for X and the internal font server in XFree86.  It should be obvious
that this won't work.  I suggest that you uninstall the xfs font server
and see if this helps.

The 75 dpi and 100 dpi fonts that come with X are bit mapped fonts. 
They can not be AAed.
