Bug#535061: /usr/bin/xfontsel: xfontesel reports no usuable fonts

[Ben Whyte <ben@whyte-systems.co.uk>]

Package: x11-utils
Version: 7.4+1
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/xfontsel

When running xfontsel I get

 xfontsel
Warning: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset               
Error: Aborting: no font found 

It also seems to be effecting Eterm which reports

Eterm:  Error:  Unable to load font "-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-*-*-*-c-*-iso10646-1".  Falling back on "k14"
Eterm:  FATAL:  Couldn't load the fallback font either.  Giving up.
