i had this same problem, and was also pointed by Thomas Krennwallner
(if you're reading -- thanks!) to
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200305/msg00220.html,
which advised me to change to order of paths given to 'catalogue' in
'/etc/X11/fs/config.' this didn't work.
i looked up my XF86 log files, and saw that it was loading fonts in a
different order than that specified above. i then changed my
XF86Config-4 'Files' section to load the FontPaths in the same order
as give to 'catalogue' above, and everything worked. i've pasted the
relevant section below, and hope it helps.
[ rant ]
G. Branden Robinson's says this isn't a bug
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=141332), but i can't
think of a better term for it when a package update makes a change
which breaks numerous systems.
