another font problem in xorg

Hi list,

I'm using unstable (updated today).
When I use X applications which don't use fontconfig, but the plain old
X method to find fonts (e.g. fontforge), I get complaints like this:

Help! Server claimed font
-bitstream-courier-medium-r-normal--13-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1
existed in the font list, but when I asked for it there was nothing.
I think I'll crash soon.

In the application itself I see the famous questionmarks instead of
latin characters... :(

Does anyone have an idea what is going on here and how to fix this?

Now my config files (lines are wrapped because of the mailclient):

/etc/X11/xorg.conf:
