I tried fvwm and there was no difference. Not a WM problem. Never

It is a voodoo (i.e. fonts)  problem. Things work for me now, with -fp
in the Xserver command line and /usr/share/fonts/Type1/ before
/usr/share/fonts/misc/. I would prefer to understand what happens
rather than blindly apply a fix, but anyway.
