After re-installing the entire April 14 binaries, I also has the large font display problem while using XDMCP to connect to a linux box running Redhat 7.0. The large font on gdm welcome screen (-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-*-180-*-*-*-*-*-*) could not be displayed on the xfree/cygwin. I recalled that the fonts could be displayed correctly before using the April 14 binaries.
BTW, mkfontdir is not find in the April 14 binaries. I also tested using the xfontsel running on local Xwindows and it appears that fonts could not be displayed on the xfontsel box although it could be found...

did you open SUN session via XDCMP or telnet?
It can be font substitution issue... that you can hack by
adjusting ~/.Xdefaults
