OK, so this is the real fix. Move
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/"

By now, you have probably fixed this problem, but I have been wrestling

I just upgraded a laptop running stable to testing and the gnome
terminal seems partially broken. There is now task bar with
"File Edit ..." Also, the font is rather large and stuck.
Is there a config file through which I can change this?

I have just finished upgrading a laptop to etch and there are two
remaining problems.
1. The gnome-terminal has no top panel with "File Edit ... " and only
one font.

The box is an amd64-etch running gnome. There are times when firefox
