@Dnice try retracing yur steps on What you did when you downloaded the fonts and se if you my have changed yur settings by mistake. And if that don't work delete the fonts. Is all I can think of rite now.

Ok so now that we have our X2 rooted heres a big question. How do you unroot? Incase you need to bring it to the store for repairs.

And i have also tried many task killers. Nothing will stop this phone from lagging unless its a memory issue or the screen is glitchy. Im a noob at this so any help would be greatful. I like typing fast and this is just terible

Put your device into Fastboot mode: ? Turn off your device. ? Hold down the power button and downward volume button until you see ?Fastboot? on your screen ? Push the upward volume button
Connect your phone via USB cable. Allow Windows to install the new hardware if this is the first time you have used Fastboot mode.
Open your command prompt (Start >> run ?cmd? >> enter)
Type the following commands
cd C:/root
fastboot flash preinstall root.img
fastboot reboot
Enable USB debugging (Settings >> Applications >> Debugging)
Type the following commands
adb shell
/preinstall/su
Allow Superuser access on the phone when prompted
Type the following commands
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
cp /preinstall/su /system/bin/su
chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
PATH=/system/bin:$PATH pm install /preinstall/Superuser.apk

Congratulations! You are rooted!
This worked me also but I had to download superuser from the market first then follow the steps, and finally rooted

I have been trying to root my stupid x2 for 6 months. I can not get past the adb shell command. I continue to get the $ and when I type the su command it still returns a permission denied response. I would be most grateful if there is someone who can help me resolve this issue.
