I don't know what release you are using but I had a very similar
problem. I run unstable and I think fonts for some apps are handled by
fontconfig and libxft.
When configuring fontconfig I had said that I didn't want it to use
bitmapped fonts (because it told me they were not as good) and then
later I realized that only truetype fonts were showing up in apps. Then
reading through the messages on this list I found out about fontconfig,
did a "dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig" and chose use bitmap fonts and
things were ok.
I don't know if this is your problem, but this drove me mad for 3 days
as I installed every single font package and still couldn't get fonts to
work :)
