Hey guys,

lippe@shire:~> uname -a
FreeBSD shire.freebsdbrasil.com.br 7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #11: 
Wed May 16 15:18:51 BRT 2007 
lippe@shire.freebsdbrasil.com.br:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SHIRE  i386

Here, the following resolved it for me:

lippe@shire:~> cd /usr/ports/x11-fonts/font-misc-misc
lippe@shire:~> make clean deinstall reinstall
lippe@shire:~> cd /usr/ports/x11-fonts/font-cursor-misc
lippe@shire:~> make clean deinstall reinstall

And, finally:

lippe@shire:~> startx

Done! :)
