I'm sorry to hear this - hope this wasn't an Debian mistake.

I had this problem  too, till I installed the following packages:

xfonts-100dpi-transcoded xfonts-75dpi-transcoded xfonts-base-transcoded

You only have installed the last one.

Here my installed packages:
# dpkg -l |grep xfonts
ii  xfonts-100dpi  4.3.0.dfsg.1-1 100 dpi fonts for X
ii  xfonts-100dpi- 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1 100 dpi fonts for X (transcoded from ISO 106
ii  xfonts-75dpi   4.3.0.dfsg.1-1 75 dpi fonts for X
ii  xfonts-75dpi-t 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1 75 dpi fonts for X (transcoded from ISO 1064
ii  xfonts-base    4.3.0.dfsg.1-1 standard fonts for X
ii  xfonts-base-tr 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1 standard fonts for X (transcoded from ISO 10
ii  xfonts-scalabl 4.3.0.dfsg.1-1 scalable fonts for X

I think it is a mistake in the dependencies from the packages. 

Hope this solved your problem

Happy Xmas
