I can confirm that
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.3-6.fc10.i386
works, and
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.99.901-1.fc11.i386
does not.
I think this is because the xserver now defaults to using builtin fonts.

This is nice since most people don't care about server-side fonts.
However, I think it means that you don't get to use them at all. So, I
think to fix this, you either need to build the server with
--disable-builtin-fonts or apply this patch:
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/xorg-x11-server/devel/xserver-1....
which gets you both builtin and loadable fonts. FWIW, the xserver in
master does this now more cleanly:
