This could be solved by editing the default font used in your gtkrc. 
Best place to start looking is your ~/.gtkrc, which will probably just
include the gtkrc for the theme you're using.  Or make sure you've got
the right fonts installed - keep reading.

Not 100% sure about this one, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's trying
to use the "fixed" font (which is the default font when all else fails),
which is most likely aliased to a core font that you don't have
installed.  If that's the case, you can probably go futzing with, for
example, /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/fonts.alias to set fixed up as an alias
to something you do actually have on your machine.  Or once again, make
sure you've got some base font packages installed. :-)

You're using debian, right?  You should make sure xfonts-base is
installed, and one of either xfonts-75dpi or xfonts-100dpi.  They're the
minimal set of fonts the XFree86 guys suggest for a basic X setup. 
Install them, run "xset fp rehash" or restart your X session.

Of course, if they are installed, then you've got bigger problems that
I'd rather not think about unless they're actually happening. :-)
