fwiw my xorg.conf does not have a fontpath entry, and I don't have much problem with fonts (or I have the same problem as you, but have not noticed it.)

 From /usr/share/doc/xorg/changelog.Debian.gz :

|   does want to write the files section, don't write out any font
|   paths, only write out the font server bit if they specify that.

|     default font paths by default. Bump the xserver-xorg dependency
|     on xserver-xorg-core to this version.

and my xorg log shows:

(==) FontPath set to:

	/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,
	/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled,
	/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled,
	/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,
	/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,
	/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi
