adding fonts for a x-server-less machine

I have a headless server that doesn't run X (I don't want it to run X), but I do
want to run apps remotely on it with ssh X tunneling. I'm trying to run rxvt at
the moment but it refuses to start because it can't find any fonts.
I tried installing the font packages but it does seem to help and xfontsel and
urxvt don't see the newly installed fonts. How do I get the fonts to be
recognized, i.e what is the minimum install that doesn't require an actual
X-server to run?
This is for connecting from a windows machine with xming (sorry, not mine) to a
debian sid based server (I require some up to date apps and drivers so can't run
stable on this one).
Thanks
