I have also found the same problem.
I have just upgraded to maverick 10.10; some of the truetype fonts that
were previously available to X windows are no longer available. In
particular, I have been using Bitstream Vera Sans, a package that is no
longer part of Ubuntu. Its replacement is Dejavu
** Changed in: ttf-dejavu (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed

I am affected by the same issue. Installed the t1-xfree86-nonfree
package.
Under /usr/share/fonts/type1/t1-xfree86-nonfree I see all the fonts but
the fonts.dir and fonts.scale files were not there. So I ran mkfontscale
and mkfontdir which created those two files, then ran fc-cache,
restarted xfs,
