It is possible that Wheezy did the same thing Ubuntu did, unbundling
what used to be default fonts in X from the packages that get installed
with X.  When I first installed Xastir on a laptop that came with Ubuntu
12.04 I discovered this and hated it.  But there's a way to get those
fonts.

Try installing "xfonts-100dpi" 

This was one of those things that cheesed me off when I first installed
Ubuntu 12.04 on my cracktop.  Perhaps Ubuntu learned it from Debian.
