I had similar problems with fonts. It turned out that since I didn't initially do an dist-upgrade to woody, and probably since I was running X and apt-get from a virtual tty, that some parts of Xfree86 3.x were installed along with the 4.x fonts. The 3.x Xserver was in some instances confused by the 4.x fonts. I got rid of 3.x and have all 4.x and now the fonts are displaying nicely. BTW, I use Windowmaker and it was primarily GTK apps that had font problems though Netscape & Mozilla did as well.
