I think what has happened is that in the process of upgrading,
several fonts were removed - you need to install the font packages
for X as well. I'm pretty sure that's the problem.
Try:
apt-get install xfonts-base
apt-get install xfonts-75dpi
apt-get install xfonts-100dpi
apt-get install xfonts-scalable
If I missed any that someone else has noticed, please speak up.
Good luck!
