Details

XOrg fails to register the fonts in the font-bitstream-speedo package, and says so when you start it, as the "speedo" module seems to be missing - I'm guessing it should be speedo.so in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/fonts, but it's definitely not there.
This task depends upon

From README.fonts in xorg 7.0:
The X11R6.9 server supports scalable fonts in three formats: Type 1, TrueType
and CIDFont. This section only applies to the first two; for information on
CIDFonts, please see Installing CIDFonts (section 2.2.3, page 1) later in
this document. Previous versions also included support for the Speedo scal-
able font format, but that is disabled in the default builds of X11R6.9 and
not included in X11R7.0 and later releases.
