Check whether you have kept your default font path in your XF86 config
file. If not, your font server is plaing games. If yes, you need to
reinstall the xfonts-base package. I experienced this problem myself a
few times when installing or upgrading font packages: they semed to
erase some of the font config files for that package, which provides the
'fixed' font.
There may be an easier way to get it working again, but the abve did the
trick for me.
