If root does not use font anti-aliasing (Xft) , but the user does, it might 
be caused by missing directories in the XftConfig file.

Otherwise you should indeed check the access permissions. Usually fonts are 
stored in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, but you can look at the fontpath 
declarations in /etc/X11/XF86Config what actual paths your distro uses. AFAIK 
the fontpaths are _only_ for legacy font support, Xft again relies on the 
XftConfig files or a .XftConfig in your home. I don't know the default 
location of a system-wide XftConfig, I guess that is either 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11 or /etc/X11, but I'm not sure about this.
