I get the same error message when attempting to start magicmaze on Ubuntu 15.04.
The bug report in Debian mentions a workaround which creates a symbolic link so that magicmaze is able to find the font in the place it expects.
# ( cd /usr/share/ fonts/truetype/ && ln -s isabella ttf-isabella )
Briefly tried this (with sudo in front of ln) and it seems to make the game able to run at least...
