The font directories are defined in /usr/X386/lib/X11/Xconfig.
Maybe you are using the wrong Xconfig.
X is normally started via startx which is a shellscript which then
will start xinit. It makes no sense to start X386mono alone (beside
testing purposes). Just make ln -s X386mono X , edit your Xconfig so
it has definitions for vga2 and do startx. I think the exact things are
discussed in the READMEs.
