Restarting X after installing xfonts-100dpi did the trick[1].
How about this patch?

Subject: xvile: advertise package providing default font
When Lucida Sans is not available, xvile emits a warning and falls
back to some other font:
$ xvile
Warning: Cannot convert string "lucidasans-10" to type FontStruct
The user can override the default font by editing
/etc/X11/app-defaults/XVile, but by default Lucida Sans is expected to
be available. Add a Recommends relation to help the sysadmin find it.

Thanks,
