Ia m also running x.org in etch. Had the same problem.
locate the 75dpi directories on you current system. On mine
it shows:
VT1 root-3-ETCH:~# cds 75dpi
1 /etc/X11/fonts/X11R7/75dpi
2 /usr/share/doc/xfonts-75dpi
3 /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi
Number:
Change the old (obsolete) X11R6 paths to the new xorg paths and
your troubles should be gone.
Note: I did not find some of the old fonts, CID & Speedo, but
don't notice any difference here.
