My fonts also disapeared when i switched to the new X, and if the config
scripts detect that the configuration has already been changed by you
(or maybe some other script), it won't change it.

You can either move your own conf to somewhere else and dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xorg (i think), or set the following FontPath(s):

Section "Files"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi"
        FontPath        "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi"
        # path to defoma fonts
        FontPath      "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
EndSection
