    I'm no expert in this, but did you turn bitmapped fonts on in
    Fontconfig? If not, see the Fontcofig local configuration file
    /etc/fonts/local.conf. I recall there is a commented section that you
    have to uncomment for Fontconfig to use bitmapped fonts.

    I'm sorry I'm not giving more details, I can't have a look at local.conf
    because I'm not writing this from my Debian machine.

    Hope this helps.

    Andrei
