No. xfs if the font server binary, and lives in /usr/X11R6/bin.

The catalog entry in /etc/X11/xfs/config lists the full pathnames of 
your font directories, which are mostly in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts. 
Check that you actually have font files in the subdirectories of fonts.

Useful tools are:
   chkfontpath -l    -- lists what X believes is in the font path,
   chkfontpath -a arg -- adds a font
   xset fp default  -- resets the fontpath to the default
   xset fp rehash  -- rereads all the font databases.
