+Removing xfonts-traditional would probably your X server by removing "fixed".

 You should not remove xfonts-traditional while "fixed" refers to one
 of its fonts.  You probably want to check the differences between
 /etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias and xfonts-base.alias.not-trad,
 and probably replace the former with the latter, and retry the removal.
