Try creating /etc/X11/xorg.conf and putting there:
--

Section "Files"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"
    FontPath    "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi:unscaled"
    FontPath    "/usr/local/share/fonts"
EndSection

Or simply copy the xorg.conf from any Debian machine where you have X.Org
working. Nevertheless this might be indeed a bug in default config (since
fonts are now in /usr/share/fonts).
