Ken,
    I just tried what you suggested for *every* font specified in the defaults
file for dxcalendar.  I changed them all to 8x13 (which I have on my RT) in
both my .Xdefaults file and in the server's resources database.  I still got:

X Protocol error detected by server: font or color name does not exist
  Failed request major op code 45 X_OpenFont
  Failed request minor op code 0 (if applicable)
  ResourceID 0x1000001 in failed request (if applicable)
  Serial number of failed request 14
  Current serial number in output stream 17

Adding the "-fn" option to the command line (both before and after the
resource changes) didn't help either.  Any other ideas???
