It seems that the new HP X server doesn't set the font path up correctly (Using xdm in failsafe mode, i.e no user files run, the font path is /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc). I got round this by copying the fonts that xdm needed into /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc, and then setting the font path explicitly in Xsession. I didn't need to uncompress or change the name of any of them.
