I am not sure if the requested backport is approriate here, because on the NewInEtch page at DebianWiki[1] there is a note about removed packages saying:
"* xfonts-base-transcoded (Etch is the first fully UTF-8 Debian release, so there's no version of xfonts-base with legacy encodings anymore)" As we know, Dapper Drake is also completely UTF-8, so the transcoded fonts have been removed for a good reason (?), and the sources of the problem with small EMACS fonts (Bug #45823) should perhaps be sought elsewere (i.e. EMACS itself?). I base this assumption also on the posted information that the fonts in question display correctly with xfontsel (Bug #25591).
