Title:
  X doesn't load in Quantal, downgrading libxfont1 to Precise version
  fixes it : could not open default font 'fixed'

Status in libxfont package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  As was first pointed out in
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1965997&page=11 X won't start
  any more in Quantal. A workaround is to install libxfont1 1:1.4.4-1
  from Precise instead of the 1:1.4.5-1 currently in Quantal.

  I reproduced this bug myself just by logging out after upgrading.
  Virtual terminals wouldn't work for me either.
