I had the same problem with fonts in xterm. I had the errors:
Warning: Cannot convert string "nil2" to type FontStruct
xterm: cannot load font 7x14
The solution for me was to emerge the media-fonts/font-misc-misc package.
It seems that xorg-server-1.5.3 doesn't depend on this, unlike older
xorg-server versions. The fonts dependencies has moved to the newer
x11-base/xorg-x11-7.4 package.
