Florian! This solved my font problem on Sid.

I like to install from scratch via script. So you know precisely what 
you have and are getting.

I use a local repository of Sid that I create from an installed Sid 
partition via dpkg-recreate and ftp-archive.

Did that yesterday, and... the fonts look different. But I have none of 
the files that the OP or replies talk about.

However "dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config" made a difference.

Strange: debconf-show fontconfig shows nothing...
