I'd expect anything running under X to simply load named fonts from
those that are available to the X server.

xlsfonts will tell you which fonts are available for use by X, from
the listed FontPaths in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. Its probably a good
idea for you to install cfonts-base, xfonts-100dpi, xfonts-75dpi,
gsfonts-x11 and msttcorefonts to get a decent selection of fonts.
