That I recognize (because I kept hitting it on fluxbox myself). When
you install the Xorg fonts, you need to rebuild the font scale and
directory listings. Normally, this is done during `make install', but
if you use a DESTDIR, it won't happen. Try this:

mkfontscale /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc
mkfontdir /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc

adjusting /usr to $XORG_PREFIX. Also, make sure the font-alias package
is installed correctly. If it is, you'll have the file
$XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias.

If that helps, you should repeat the mkfont* commands in the other X11
font directories, too.
