I assume the fonts are True Type fonts. Install the xfstt true type
X font font server from the unstable(slink) tree of debian. It is much
improved over the hamm version(which is broken). This is a much easier
approach then updating all the X packages, not that there is anything
wrong with that. After installing it make sure and read the man page
and files in /usr/doc/xfstt to learn how to set it up to use your fonts.
