I can confirm this bug. After upgrading from dapper to edgy, emacs only
showed empty squares as characters under X11. However, X11 started
normally after the upgrade.
Moving the defective fonts directory away and replacing it with the
symlink mentioned in this bug report, fixed this problem for me.
This is the "Files" section of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/X11/fonts/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"
# path to defoma fonts
FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
EndSection
