Hi Mumia,

When the xserver-xorg package was upgraded it seems to have removed them. Someone said the new version of X.Org does this.

Yes I use gdm. I did what you said and the newly generated xorg.conf has no Font stuff in it. So I started X and again same font problem. So then I manually added in the font lines and I even put the 75dpi one at as the top line but still the problem doesn't go away.
