There was made some changes of xfonts packages since XFree86 in Woody changed to version 4.1.0. Xfonts-base now primerily includes ISO 8859-1 fonts. For other fonts you can install xfonts-base-transcoded.

In most cases it is desirable to have the X font server (xfs) and/or an X server installed to make the fonts available to X clients. . This package contains fonts in several ISO 8859 encodings (-2, -3, -4, -5, -7, -8, -9, -10, -13, -14, and -15) as well as KOI8-R. For the ISO 10646-1 and ISO 8859-1 encodings, see the xfonts-base package. . This package requires the xutils package to prepare the font directories for use by an X server or X font server.

In most cases it is desirable to have the X font server (xfs) and/or an X server installed to make the fonts available to X clients. . This package contains primarily fonts in the ISO 10646-1 and ISO 8859-1 encodings, to conserve disk space. (A small selection of fonts in ISO 8859-8, JIS-X0208.1983, JIS-X0208.1976, and GB2312.1980 fonts are also included.) For other encodings, see the xfonts-base-transcoded package. . If you are not using a remote font server, you must install this package if you are installing an X server. It contains fonts without which X servers will not work. . This package also provides a set of files that can be used by the X or fonts server to transcode fonts from one encoding to another (e.g., KOI8-R to ISO-8859-5). . This package requires the xutils package to prepare the font directories for use by an X server or X font server. -- Nothing is impossible! You only need to know the way. :-)
