For me this seems to be a problem of your font environment. So I need
more information about your system.
Could you please send me the "Font Path" from "xset q" output?
And than I need to know what founts you installed, so the output of
the following commands would help to find the center of the problem:
dpkg -l xfonts-\* | grep '^[ih]'
dpkg -l gsfonts\* | grep '^[ih]'
Tschoeeee
