It has come to my attention that problems like this are often caused by the
X-server font path not being set correctly. So the dependency mechanism
does load the required font packages, and they do have the required fonts
in them, but the X-server cannot fin them. The situation can be corrected
by giving the command
xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/X11
(or wherever else your font packages are installed).
This problem does not seem to have anything to do with XBoard; if anything,
it should count as a bug in the installation of the respective font packages.
