Check in your X11 font directories.  Are the fonts compressed or gzipped
(*.Z or *.gz)?  Depending on the vintage of your server, it may be
expecting *.Z fonts.  (XFree < 3.3 and commercial ones earlier than
August of this year or so.)  You can work around by ungzipping them and
then compressing them if this is your problem.

Else I'd suspect a misconfigured fontserver if you'r using one of those.
