You need to install 'font-adobe-dpi75'.
from the cygwin setup.exe or manually?
Using setup. But your setup needs to be running without errors first.
However, this should have been installed automatically as a dependency
of xterm.
I wish you'd attached your cygcheck output.
is this you need?

You could try reinstalling that package, although I'd guess something
went wrong with installing package. You should check /var/log/setup.log
for clues.
I've several warning like "abnormal exit: exit code=128" in setup.log,
the first one is :
2010/07/06 20:26:45 running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile
/etc/postinstall/xorg-server.sh
2010/07/06 20:27:07 abnormal exit: exit code=128
This is the problem. Reinstalling won't fix anything until you find out why
this is happening and fix it.
I reinstall X11 package now and tell you what's new before.
