Removing xfonts-{75,100}dpi

Testing for a day didn't bring up any negative consequences, and a
quick discussion with the Debian X.org maintainers also indicated that
this was a good thing to do. So I uploaded the change in xorg
7.5+6ubuntu7.

Please let me know if this breaks anything for you, i. e. applications
which suddenly look strange or lose their text completely.

Thanks,

Martin
