X default font: 'fixed'

[Bob Frankstein <queshaw@pacbell.net>]

I have installed woody. After this I did:

apt-get install x-window-system
apt-get install xlibs-dev

Then when I try to run X it says it can't find default font: 'fixed'

I had fixed this before without altering any fonts.dir or fonts.alias files.
What do I need to do? My XF86Config-4 file has lines mentioning the font 
server and some initial paths.
