That's a standard X11 font family. Your Linux distribution should include the fonts from this family in packages with names like xorg-x11-75dpi-fonts and xorg-x11-100dpi-fonts. I don't know what distro you are using, so I can't be more precise than that.
If you prefer to use a different font, please read the documentation that comes with xboard about the options for selecting fonts from the command line or your .Xdefaults file.
