Just to add a bit to era's excellent distillation of how X11 font work (which I've now bookmarked for when I try and explain it to people thanks!) - the version of xming I use has a
really small set of fonts by default, your's might well have the same problem.
There's good news though, you can add additional fonts to xming (like, say, courier-medium and helvetica-medium
)
If you already have those fonts available in windows, you can either tell xming where to find these by editing the font-dirs file.
If they are not on your machine at all, you can either install them into windows, or into xming itself.
There's loads of information on xming fonts here:

dtadvfs(8) System Manager's Manual dtadvfs(8)
NAME
dtadvfs - Starts the AdvFS graphical user interface
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/X11/dtadvfs [options] [-N] [-C hostname]
OPTIONS
Turns off information messages about starting up the
asemgr utility. This message is displayed at startup and whenever the file system configuration is changed when the system is running
TruCluster Software. Connects to other hosts that are running the AdvFS GUI daemon, advfsd.
OPERANDS
Uses the standard X Windows options. See the X(1X) and xterm(1X) reference pages for information.
DESCRIPTION
The AdvFS graphical user interface (GUI) organizes AdvFS functionality into system management tasks and makes them available through a
graphical interface.
Issue the dtadvfs command to display the AdvFS GUI Main window. This window serves as both the starting point for all AdvFS GUI-managed
tasks and as a monitor for file-system status. When the Main window is displayed, disk-space usage information is shown for the host and
file domains.
From the Main window, you can choose tasks from the following menus: Choose GUI setup options or exit the GUI. Choose file domain, file-
set, clone, or volume configuration tasks. Choose what information displays on the main window or view devices and volumes information.
Choose file domain balance or defragment procedures.
Online help is available for all tasks and windows available through the GUI. To access help, click on the Help button in any window or
choose Help from the menu bar to display information.
RESTRICTIONS
You must be the root user to use this utility and you must register the Advanced File System Utilities license.
FILES
/Storage_Management/Dtadvfs
The indicator for graphic icons. The dtadvfs message log file. Remove or copy this log to another location periodically to prevent
the log from becoming too large. The AdvFS Manager user-interface executable file. The dtadvfs online help files. The dtadvfs X
resource file. The dtadvfs message catalogs. The GUI graphic icon files. The launch script for the graphic icons.
