I have done a rebuild of the tinyerp package in mock. The xorg-x11-fonts-package should be OK, but the problem must in the Xvfb server binary. When running Xvfb without explicit -fp it cannot find the "fixed" font. But when I add "-fp /usr/share/X11/fonts/misc", it runs OK. Looking into the Xvfb binary with strings found out that it really doesn't know any font path. There is no /usr/share/X11/fonts or the X default /usr/lib/X11/fonts path encoded in the binary. Looks like I will do a bugreport into Bugzilla.
