Hi Harsha, I'm relatively new to Linux however I think u should try installing the xfonts-75dpi package as well. Some packages look for 75dpi fonts too....maybe that's what's causing the problem....in either case both 100dpi and 75dpi versions of fonts can co-exist on the same machine so no harm in trying.
