This is likely a couple of problems. One is that you should have an
xfont server installed "xfs" and the other may be what is the
arrangement of availability in your /etc/X11/XF86Config  file.
It is also helpful if you install truetype fonts and a truetype font
server "xfstt". Take a look at this site.

Here is a view of the font pats from my /etc/X11/XF86Config  file;

Section "Files"
   RgbPath    "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
   Fontpath   "unix/:7101"
   FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
   FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
   FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
   FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW"
   FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/PEX"
   FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
   FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
   FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
   FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
   FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
   FontPath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/sharefont"
   Fontpath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont"

The order of placement is IMPORTANT. Note Unscaled first. and higher dpi
first.
Good Luck!
