Yes... Tell me, what does
xlsfonts -fn "-*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-14-*"
say? If it says nothing, do as root
/var/lib/dpkg/info/xfnt100.postinst
and then do "xset fp rehash" (as your regular user) and then try the
xlsfonts command again. If it still says nothing, try doing
killall -1 xfs
as root, and then try the xlsfonts command again. If it still says
nothing, exit X, start it up again and try xlsfonts once more.
(i.e. if using xdm, get back to the login screen and log back in; if
using startx then exit X completely and use startx again) If still
nothing, then something's really weird; could you tell me what "xset
q" has to say about the "Font Path:"?
If you get a result with xlsfonts that's not nothing, try running
tkdesk again.

If you don't have the file ~/.xsession (that is, .xsession in your
home directory) then create it and put the line
exec afterstep
(and nothing else) into it. Another option is to (as root) move the
afterstep line in /etc/X11/window-managers to the top of the list.
