A solution to this problem from the Oracle Installer on AIX was to add the -fp path to XWIN in startxwin.bat as follows.
%RUN% XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error - fp "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF,/usr/X11R6/lib/ X11/fonts/Type1,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/mis c,/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/util" It may not be the only solution, though it looks like a "defect" in startxwin.bat as I am pretty sure I had this working in a previous version without modification.
