Mal,

Did you type this or paste it?
There appear to be 14 fields in this XLFD (X Logical Font Descriptor), where
there should be 13.


                  $ xlsfonts | grep helvetica | less

                  -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--34-240-100-100-p-176-iso10646-1
                  -adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--34-240-100-100-p-176-iso8859-1
                  etc

I doubt whether that's due to the differences between distributions. It's
either a typo or a screw loose in the error messages of the software.

The 480 is the POINT_SIZE, (i.e 48pt). If I look for 48pt fonts here

                  $ xlsfonts | grep 480
                  -cc-song-medium-r-normal-jiantizi-48-480-75-75-c-480-gb2312.1980-0
                  -hrnet&hcr-grtex-bold-i-normal--50-480-75-75-p-326-iso8859-2

I get a few, but no helvetica. Maybe you need to look for a larger helvetica 
somewhere. I'll have a go as well later.
