Did you adjust your fontpath under X?

Here is mine:

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi,
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/URW, !!! URW-fonts
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont, !!! Freefonts
/usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/etc/x-symbol/pcf/

Else try the freefonts.

I just want to add that it works for me (no missing fonts).
