Bug#366347: xfonts-base: Some programs fail to start with no ISO8859 fonts error
Turns out, this was caused by my customized Xorg configuration having
the font paths still set to /usr/lib/X11/fonts instead of their new
paths in /usr/share/fonts/X11/ (after the Xorg 7 transition). I changed
the FontPath statements in my xorg.conf, and all was well. There is a
lengthly explanation of a lot of things about the Xorg 7 transition
here: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/04/msg00010.html.
