Try installing xfonts-100dpi and xfonts-75dpi packages.

Thanks. Actually just now I have solved the issue by doing a complicated internet search.
You are right. We need to install the above-mentioned fonts.
Let me mention the steps that I have taken. Actually I installed xfs and xfstt and that removed the error
message that I was seeing while opening xmgrace. But the same error message was still being shown while opening
xdvi (may be it occurs in some other applications too, I haven't checked all).
1.
apt-get install xfs xfstt (Problem in grace resolved)
2.
apt-get install t1-xfree86-nonfree ttf-xfree86-nonfree ttf-xfree86-nonfree-syriac xfonts-75dpi xfonts-100dpi
(May be we just need to install xfonts-75dpi and xfonts-100dpi only)
3. Then set the path:
xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/
xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/
(The path may vary in other configurations. Should use
locate to see where 75/100dpi's are)
So I think, the problem is solved. If someone encounters similar error, please let me know.
