Those are all bitmap fonts; if you want to use them, make sure bitmap 
fonts are enabled (dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig).

I don't understand why these fonts disappeared though; it should inherit 
the old configuration answers.   Perhaps it's just that these fonts were 
in some directory other than /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/*, in which case the 
new fontconfig's more effective mechanism for identifying bitmap fonts 
would exclude them while the old mechanism would include them.
