As a workaround, you could try specifying a different font in
/etc/X11/app-defaults/Xawtv, but it seems weird that a matching font
isn't available. I don't know much about fontsets for non-iso8859-1
locales, but I get a lot of results for both
xlsfonts -fn '-*-fixed-bold-R-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*'
and
xlsfonts -fn '-*-*-*-R-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*'
These should be *really* general fonts; the first doesn't care about
any font traits except fixed-width spacing, bold, Roman (as opposed to
oblique/italic) and a point size of 120... and the second only cares
about Roman and 120pt there should be plenty that match in
xfonts-75dpi and xfonts-100dpi. Try those two xlsfonts, and see if
they find any fonts...
Maybe mkfontdir didn't get run properly by dpkg? You can run that
manually if need be... Or maybe you have a bad path in your
XF86config?
