Hi Mumia,
When the xserver-xorg package was upgraded it seems to have removed them.
Someone said the new version of X.Org does this.

Yes I use gdm. I did what you said and the newly generated xorg.conf
has no Font stuff in it. So I started X and again same font problem.
So then I manually added in the font lines and I even put the 75dpi
one at as the top line but still the problem doesn't go away.
