I'm used to install them from FC2 RPM as a workaround,
for example :

cd /tmp
wget [your_FC2_mirror]/xorg-x11-100dpi-fonts-6.7.0-10.i386.rpm
wget  [your_FC2_mirror]/xorg-x11-75dpi-fonts-6.7.0-10.i386.rpm
rpm2cpio xorg-x11-100dpi-fonts-6.7.0-10.i386.rpm | cpio -id
rpm2cpio xorg-x11-75dpi-fonts-6.7.0-10.i386.rpm | cpio -id
cd /tmp/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
cp 100dpi/[what_you_want] /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/
cp 75dpi/[what_you_want] /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/
mkfontdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi
mkfontdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi

Cordialy, Remi.
