I have exim4 setup on a laptop, thus the network isn't always available when the system starts up.

Try looking in your XF86Config-4 file and move the type1 fontpath to the end, and if you have a truetype fontpath, move it to the beginning. If that solves you problem its because X uses the first font in the fontpath that fits the description, and it usually doesn't handle type1 fonts very well.
