Restarting X is enough. (I think "restarting xlsfonts" was a slip of
the pen.)

They appear just fine here (jessie) so it's tricky to think of what's wrong.
Do you have any other type1 fonts that work ok? If there's a mistake
in the installation scripts, perhaps installing gsfonts/gsfonts-x11
would regularise something.
Do lines like:
(==) FontPath set to:
/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1, <-----
/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,
/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi,
built-ins
appear in /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
Just out of interest, what do you intend using these fonts for?
I looked at them with uxterm -fn <fontname> but the results were
a bit of a mess: the characterwidths were all wrong (and differed
between user input and system output) and some printed only
uppercase letters. Actually that's true for all the type1 fonts
I have installed apart from xfonts-scalable.
Cheers,
David.
