NVIZ fails to display any text

Description

As reported on user ML, there are problems with recent Xorg releases and displaying any text (legend labels, north arrow text etc) in NVIZ. Those features will fail to render at all if there are problems with fonts.

For some strange reason, line 3105 at src/togl.c is returning NULL on most (all?) sane font names that where working just fine some time a go.

If somebody has an idea why XLoadQueryFont() fails on most of font names, it's the right time to reveal it :)

Tested with current develbranch_6 and Xorg 1.9.1 RC2.
