These are the 'builtin' fonts.

Read the X server log file. I would guess that it will show that the X
server is unable to load any fonts, for one of the following reasons:
1) You've built an X server with a dynamically linked libXfont, which
doesn't work correctly for reasons discussed at [1], so the X server is
unable to load any fonts.
2) You've built an X server configured to find fonts from somewhere
other than /usr/share/fonts. Add --with-fontdir=/usr/share/fonts to
your ./configure invocation and rebuild.
