XFS is optional and has been for quite a while (2+ years):
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureNoMoreXFS

[sam samlap ~]$ rpm -qi xorg-x11-xfs
package xorg-x11-xfs is not installed
(my GUI works perfectly well)

As such, it's probably not installed and X is sourcing the fonts from
their directories and not via a font server.
