It is to be expected, yes.

You don't need Xquartz to run Debian in a VM ... or is the VM running on a 
diffferent machine?
Either way, XQuartz doesn't render fonts, it just renders the drawing 
instructions it receives from the client. The Freetype library on the client 
(Debian) takes care of translating the TrueType instructions into drawing 
instructions.

Try to find Debian packages for the Infinality patches for Freetype and 
FontConfig. With those you will get font rendering that is even better than the 
Mac's native font rendering.
