You have to add the additional fonts' directories to your font path.  Try
adding lines like

 xset +fp /usr/X11R6/.../75dpi   (don't remember the complete path, sorry!)

to your startx or xinitrc script.

By the way, I have a problem with the xconsole program iuncluded in the
same packages.  The only thing I get is a message 'could not open console',
regardless how I set the program's and /dev/console's permissions.  This is
a bit annoying since all console messages keep mixing up my X screen.
Any ideas ?
