Setup: VBox vm running gentoo(amd64) guest on a win-10 (64bit) host

I've added some fonts from outside portage this way:
(Sorry that what follows is a bit of a confusing mess)
mkdir /usr/share/fonts/terminus
loaded the fonts into termininus
Ran:
mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/terminus
Ran:
xset fp rehash
Which is supposed to tell the X fonts tools about the new
set of fonts with out having to restart X.
I thought a bit and wondered if I might should have added the new
directory to the font path.. I don't really think so since the default
path covers the new one but still....so:
Ran:
xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/terminus
That is supposed to prepend that path to the existing path.
Checked with:
xset q
And I see the new directory
Font Path:
/usr/share/fonts/terminus_hp3-170310/,/usr/share/fonts/misc/,built-ins
The new fonts show up with `fc-list'
OK, all seems to be working...
Until I actually try to use them.
xterm -fa ter-u14b_iso-8859-1.pcf
(output wrapped for mail)
Warning: Cannot convert string
"-adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal--*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type
FontStruct
Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion
It appears the xterm is trying to load a font from somewhere else even
though I asked for `ter-u14b_iso-8859-1.pcf'
I'm not at all sure where the -adobe-helvetica if being called.
sudo grep -r 'adobe-helvetica' /usr/share/fonts
<Nothing>
However there are piles of fonts with `adobe' in the name:
sudo grep -r adobe /usr/share/fonts|wc-l
173
They appear to be mostly like this:
/usr/share/fonts/corefonts/fonts.scale:verdanaz.ttf
-microsoft-verdana-bold-i-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-adobe-standard
Thought it might be from .Xresoures but there are no fonts there with
adobe in the name
`grep adobe .Xresources' <nothing>
Anybody here recognize what the problem might be?
There are a few helvetica in the .. only one is english:
/usr/share/fonts/misc/fonts.alias:variable \
-*-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
And two japanese helveticas
So I can't even tell where that adobe font is coming from
