Many fontconfig default setups *only* display scalable fonts, and omit 
bitmap fonts (See /etc/fonts/fonts.conf).  Personally, I add the 
following to /etc/fonts/local.conf to (re)enable bitmap fonts:

<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi</dir>
<dir>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc</dir>
