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).
