OK then, I'm still guessing it's something boonky with your font
loading. The list of available fonts is returned by xlsfonts. Could
you try grepping that for helvetica and fixed, to make sure I'm right?
:-)
Also, what do the FontPath entries look like in the Files section of
your XF86Config? And what modules are being loaded?
My generated XF86Config file included a font server, but I certainly
don't use one. I think it's overkill if you're only serving them up to
the local machine. The following works for me:
Section "Files"
FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server
# if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/CID"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/truetype"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/xfree86-nonfree"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/larabie-straight"
