I'd check to see if xfstt is running.  If it is not, I start it, then
I restart X.

The exact symptom is that applications take a long time to load (or don't
before the X server dies).  This includes gnome-terminal and gfontsel...

Clicking on the Terminal or [Gnome Foot] -> Programs -> Utilities -> Font Sel.
