I am glad that it works for you now.
Unfortunately I have no idea about the reason currently. On my Gentoo
box I have only the basic fonts installed, and all is working. And,
generally zooming should use just cairo's scale operation, which should
work with all fonts. Maybe Peter C. has used a more complicated approach
when integrating cairo drawing into gschem? Currently I do not know if
cairo's so called toy text is used, or if Pango is used. Sorry.

Best regards,
