I fear, that this are two different issues:
a) some locale based issue
b) some font based issue

For the locale problem, please check the output of command "locale", "locale -a" the value of environment variable XFIG_LC_TYPE and have look at /usr/share/doc/xfig/README.Debian chapter "UTF-8 Support". Maybe you have to create some more locale files by using "dpkg-reconfigure locales" and add some languages.

The font issue may depend on some font packages not beeing installed. Usually it should be enough to install the package gsfonts-x11, which provides vector fonts of the requested Adobe fonts.
If your fonts are 12pt for all fonts, you may also have forgotten to install xfonts-100dpi and xfonts-75dpi. For a deeper dive into this issue, you should install the mentioned 3 packages and run "xset fp rehash" after this (or restart X11 or your PC).
If the issue persists, run "xset q" and show me the "Font Path" displayed by it.
