Are the following paths in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?

Section "Files"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc:unscaled"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi:unscaled"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi:unscaled"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi"
    FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1"
    FontPath     "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
EndSection

The directories under /usr/lib/X11/fonts are no longer in use since
Xorg 7.0. Also, the path unix/:7100 is only needed if you are using a
font server (which you do not appear to be).
